Summary

Southport Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 276 students. 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.

Southport Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 893 and 923 out of around 1,050 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. Southport Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly lower than the Kenosha School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.76% of 3rd graders at Southport Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.92% in the Kenosha School District and 52.14% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 29.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Elementary, Kenosha School of Technology Enhanced Curriculum, and Brompton School, generally outperform Southport Elementary on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. These schools also serve a lower percentage of students from low-income families, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Southport Elementary, such as providing additional academic support and addressing the needs of specific student subgroups, will be crucial for the school to improve its educational outcomes and provide a better learning environment for its students.
