Summary

Green Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Lake, Wisconsin, serving 152 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Green Lake School District.

Green Lake Elementary is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade. The school's academic performance, particularly in the early grades and for its special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, is a notable strength. For example, the school's 3rd-grade students have consistently outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates around 70% or higher. Additionally, the school's special education and low-SES student subgroups have performed well, ranking in the top 20% and 36th out of 721 Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

While Green Lake Elementary has shown impressive academic results, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.7% in 2021-2022 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is now higher than the state average and the nearby Rosendale-Brandon and Ripon Area schools, which have similar rates around 17.7%. This is an area of concern that the school may need to investigate and address, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, October 1, 2012

This school has a serious issue with bullying both in the classroom & of the parents. There is no strong administration & the teachers do what they wish, whether or not the best interest of the students is at stake. The kindergarten room alone is a great example of why teacher tenure should not exist. The IB program is wonderful in theory, but is not being applied correctly in this school. Close Quote
