Summary

Forest Park Elementary is a PK–5 school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 391 students as part of the Kenosha School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 746th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools, placing it in the 28th percentile with 1 star — a modest improvement from the 22nd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 21st percentile in 2023–2024, but still below the state average and well under its 2016–2017 peak at the 50th percentile (3 stars).

Among 10 nearby district elementary schools, Forest Park lands exactly at the median: it outranks Grewenow Elementary, Brass Community School, Frank Elementary, Strange Elementary and Kenosha School of Language (KSOL), while trailing Whittier Elementary, Lakeview K-8 Academy, Jeffery Elementary, Ruth Harman Academy and Roosevelt Elementary, whose percentiles run from 5th to 79th. Test results vary sharply by grade. Third-grade reading is a clear weak spot, at 25% proficient versus 42.63% in the district and 52.08% statewide, and third-grade math (33.33%) also trails the district (46.9%) and state (54.75%). By contrast, fourth-grade math (52.54%) beats the district (46.05%) and nearly matches the state (52.87%), and fifth-grade math (52.38%) is above both the district (42.86%) and the state (51.81%).

Chronic absenteeism was 18.9% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 27.6% but slightly above the state's 17.3%, and up from 13.2% the year before, as free/reduced-price lunch eligibility rose from 40.49% to 54.48%. English Language Learner students are the standout strength: that subgroup ranked 34th of 245 schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), higher than the overall percentile of every nearby school compared here. Low-income students also improved to the 36th percentile (2 stars) from 18th the prior year, while special education students slipped to the 23rd percentile (1 star) from 37th. Per-student spending is $14,441 with a 13.5 student–teacher ratio — both mid-range, and they do not clearly explain results.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, April 29, 2012

This school was once considered one of the best. Families bought homes just for this school. However, within the last year or so the school has taken a nose dive. Students are not getting the education they use to. The school got rid of the Intervention program. Now your child can come home week after week with D's and F's. Special education is more of a cheerleading program. The focus is having the kids accept a child who cannot read instead of helping a child who can't read. Sadly the new princple is mean and nonapproachable to both kids and parents. Close Quote
