Summary

Somers Elementary is a PK–5 school at 1245 72nd Ave in Kenosha, WI, part of the Kenosha School District. It enrolls 560 students, making it the second-largest elementary school among its nearby comparison group—only Nash Elementary is slightly larger at 576. The district ranks 340th of 432 in Wisconsin (21st percentile, 1 star), while Somers itself ranked 670th of 1,039 schools in 2025–2026 (36th percentile, 2 stars), placing it above the district average but still below the state median.

Math is a relative strength: in 2024–2025, Somers' math proficiency exceeded both district and state in grades 3–5, and 4th and 5th grade math stayed above state in 2025–2026. ELA results are uneven—5th grade was strong in 2025–2026 at 58.33%, while 3rd grade was 38.36%, below district and state. Science consistently lags behind both, at 40.3% in 2025–2026 versus district 43.05% and state 53.46%. Chronic absenteeism is a standout bright spot at 16.3%, well below the district's 27.6% and slightly below the state's 17.3%, ranking among the best in the peer group.

Somers is mid-tier locally: its 36th percentile rank was above Forest Park (28), Bose (26), Strange (16), Frank (14), KSOL (12), and Grant (6), similar to Harvey (37), but below Roosevelt (63) and Nash (63). Somers has declined from the 73rd percentile in 2015–2016 and has hovered between the 36th and 41st percentiles the last four years. Free/reduced lunch eligibility rose to 54.1% in 2024–2025 from 42.4%, with per-student spending at $13,404. Subgroup effectiveness varies: Somers ranked 66th percentile for African American students, 54th for Hispanic students, and 64th for multi-racial students, but 26th for English language learners, 23rd for low-income students, and 22nd for special education students.
