Summary

Bose Elementary is a PK–5 school at 1900 15th St in Kenosha, WI, serving 304 students as part of the Kenosha School District; it is a smaller, higher-poverty school, with about 69% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025. For 2025–2026, the school is ranked 772nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools, placing it in the 26th percentile with 1 star. It has moved up from the 13th percentile in 2017–2018, though it remains low overall. Compared with nearby schools, the school outperforms Southport Elementary, Strange Elementary, Brass Community School, Frank Elementary, and Grant Elementary, but trails Roosevelt Elementary, Lakeview K-8 Academy, Harvey Elementary, Somers Elementary, and Forest Park Elementary.

Academically, the school has bright spots and clear weak points. Fifth grade is a strength: 51.43% of students were proficient in both ELA and math, and math was 8.57 points above the district average and nearly identical to the state average. Third grade math was also above district at 50.00%. Fourth grade is the weakest grade level: it was below district and state in ELA, math, social studies, and science. Social studies was especially low—43.64% proficient versus 59.32% in the district and 65.51% statewide—and fourth grade ELA was 11.14 points below district and near the bottom among nearby schools.

Attendance is a relative asset: chronic absenteeism was 19.6% in 2024–2025, better than the district’s 27.6% but slightly above the state’s 17.3%, and it has improved from 37.5% in 2021–2022. Resources are relatively favorable—$15,941 per student and a 12.4 student/teacher ratio—yet overall outcomes remain in the lower quartile. Subgroup effectiveness measures show notable recent strength for African American students (88th percentile, 4 stars in 2024–2025) and special education students (64th percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026); low-SES effectiveness improved from the 19th to the 33rd percentile. The most actionable priorities appear to be fourth grade ELA and math, social studies and science, and continuing the practices that have produced strong growth for student groups showing recent gains.
