Summary:
The Beloit School District contains six PK–5 elementary schools serving roughly 2,400 students, with enrollments ranging from 224 at Merrill Elementary to 477 at Robinson Elementary. The district overall ranks 426 of 432 Wisconsin districts (about the 1st percentile) and holds 0 stars, and all six schools share that low district rating. Free and reduced lunch rates average about 74%, and chronic absenteeism averages about 38% — far above the state rate of 17.3%.
Within this group, Gaston Elementary, Converse Elementary, and Todd Elementary are the relative bright spots and the only schools above the district composite average; each earns 1 star. Gaston Elementary is strongest overall (composite 33.31%, with the top math and Social Studies results), Converse Elementary leads in science (31.67%) and 5th-grade math (33.33%), and Todd Elementary has the lowest absenteeism (26.4%) and the largest ELA gain (+13.30 points). Merrill Elementary is the most challenged on nearly every measure: lowest composite (7.21%), highest absenteeism (50.0%) and highest FRL (83.93%). Hackett Elementary and Robinson Elementary hold 0 stars, with composites of 17.80% and 18.95%.
No school reaches the state average in any subject. Grade-level results swing widely within the same school — Robinson Elementary is strong in 3rd-grade math (38.24%) but very low in 5th-grade math (3.57%), while Hackett Elementary's 5th-grade ELA (35.71%) far exceeds its 3rd-grade ELA (10.20%). Group-wide, ELA improved about 5.5 points and math about 2 points year over year, yet the highest per-student spending and smallest classes at Merrill Elementary did not produce higher proficiency.
