Summary
Frank Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 457 students at 1816 57th St in Kenosha, Wisconsin, part of the Kenosha School District. Frank Elementary ranks 891st of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026 — the 14th percentile, 1 star — while the district ranks 340th of 432. It serves a high-need population: 85.34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 35.8%, far above the district's 27.6% and more than double the state's 17.3%. Per-student spending is $15,806, and its student–teacher ratio of 11.3 is the lowest among nearby comparison schools.
Frank's overall rank sits near the bottom, similar to Southport Elementary (14th percentile) and above Grant Elementary (6th) and Brass Community School (5th), but well behind Roosevelt Elementary (63rd), Ruth Harman Academy (55th), Harvey Elementary (37th), and Forest Park Elementary (28th). Every nearby school with absenteeism under 20% ranks higher, making attendance a likely key lever. Notably, Frank has smaller classes and higher spending than many peers — Roosevelt and Ruth Harman achieve stronger results with less funding — suggesting resources alone aren't driving achievement.
Academically, English language arts is consistently far below district and state across grades 3–5, and 4th grade science is very low at 24.24%. Fourth grade social studies is a bright spot at 56.06%, up sharply from 32.31% the prior year, and 5th grade math (34.92%) outperforms several nearby schools. The school also shows strong effectiveness rankings for some student groups, including special education students (67th percentile), African American students (63rd), and multiracial students (62nd). Overall, Frank faces real challenges in ELA, science, and attendance, but has promising pockets of progress.
