Summary

Bose Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 256 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 342 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bose Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across multiple student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom quarter for female, male, white, and special education students. However, the school performs better for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top half and top quarter, respectively, for these subgroups. Bose Elementary also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 29.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are consistently lower than the Kenosha School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Compared to nearby schools in the Kenosha School District, such as Somers Elementary and Harvey Elementary, Bose Elementary's performance is generally lower. While Bose Elementary struggles overall, its performance for African American and Hispanic students is relatively stronger compared to other subgroups. This suggests the school may be more effective in supporting these student populations, despite its overall challenges. Addressing the school's systemic issues and focusing on improving attendance and academic outcomes for all student groups could be critical next steps.
