Summary:
The Kewaunee School District has one elementary school, Kewaunee Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 386 students. While Kewaunee Elementary is the only elementary school in the district, its performance can be compared to state-level averages on key metrics.
Kewaunee Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, from 593 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars) to 361 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars). The school's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages, with some subject areas, such as 4th grade social studies and 3rd grade math, exceeding state proficiency rates, while others, like 3rd and 5th grade ELA, lag behind. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a high percentage of students (44.3%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
On a positive note, Kewaunee Elementary spends $12,829 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which is lower than the state average, suggesting a focus on providing adequate resources and small class sizes. Overall, the data indicates that Kewaunee Elementary has some areas of strength, but also faces challenges related to academic achievement, chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage, which will require continued monitoring and targeted interventions to improve and better serve its students.
