Shullsburg Elementary

Summary:

Shullsburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Shullsburg, Wisconsin, with 133 students. The school is part of the Shullsburg School District, which is ranked 327 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shullsburg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, performing below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Mineral Point Elementary, Westview Elementary, and Southwestern Wisconsin Elementary, Shullsburg Elementary lags behind in academic proficiency. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Shullsburg Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.0% in 2020-2021 to 14.3% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the 4.8% rate at the higher-performing Mineral Point Elementary. While the school spends approximately $12,671 per student, which is in line with nearby schools, its ranking and performance on the Forward Exam have steadily declined over the past 5 years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating. To improve student outcomes, the school and Shullsburg School District should focus on implementing targeted interventions, addressing socioeconomic barriers, and developing strategies to improve attendance.

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.
