Elementary Schools in Gillett School District

Summary:

The Gillett School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Gillett Elementary, serving students from preschool through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 351 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 769 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024.

Gillett Elementary's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, shows mixed results. While the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were above the state average, the performance declined in the upper elementary grades. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was higher than the state average. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Gillett Elementary compared to the state average, the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the investment. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges that require a deeper understanding and targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
