Elementary Schools in Manitowoc School District

The Manitowoc School District in Wisconsin is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with Riverview Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 496 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools.

Riverview Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in core subjects, with 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 17.7%. In contrast, Jefferson Elementary and Monroe Elementary have the lowest proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subject areas.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher poverty levels, such as Madison Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. However, Madison Elementary, despite a high free/reduced lunch rate of 68.6%, still performs relatively well compared to the district, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and socioeconomic status may play a role in student success.
