Spring Road Elementary

Summary:

Spring Road Elementary is a public elementary school located in Neenah, Wisconsin, serving 359 students in grades K-4 and part of the Neenah Joint School District.

Spring Road Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state. While the school has outperformed in 3rd grade Math and 4th grade Social Studies, it has struggled in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and 4th grade Science. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some student subgroups, such as female students, White students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, performing better than the overall school. However, students from low-income backgrounds have struggled, with the school ranking in the bottom 50% of Wisconsin elementary schools for this subgroup. The school has also seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which are higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby ACE Alliance Charter Elementary school has consistently outperformed Spring Road Elementary and the Neenah Joint School District in academic proficiency, ranking in the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools. In contrast, other nearby public schools like Hoover Elementary, Taft Elementary, and Gegan Elementary have struggled, with lower academic proficiency and higher chronic absenteeism rates. By learning from the success of nearby charter schools and addressing the impact of socioeconomic factors, Spring Road Elementary may be able to improve its overall academic performance and provide a more equitable education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
