Summary:
The Whitehall School District has one elementary school, Whitehall Memorial Elementary, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 437 students.
Whitehall Memorial Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranking 719 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars), 654 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024 (2 out of 5 stars), and 702 out of 1,067 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages across grades 3-6, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at 33.33% compared to the state average of 52.14% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $12,352 in the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 in 2023-2024, Whitehall Memorial Elementary appears to be facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.23% in 2023-2024) suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
