Summary

Parkside Elementary is a public elementary school in Monroe, Wisconsin, serving 336 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Monroe School District. While the school's overall academic performance has been in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, it stands out in its support for certain student subgroups.

Parkside Elementary's Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), Special Education, and low-Socioeconomic Status (SES) students all perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top schools in the state for those subgroups. This contrasts with the school's overall lower performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, where it scores below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest it has the resources to improve outcomes for all students.

One area of concern is Parkside Elementary's rising chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 10.9% in 2021-2022 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Addressing this issue could be a key step in driving better academic performance at the school. Compared to other nearby elementary schools, Parkside's performance is generally lower than Abraham Lincoln Elementary and Northside Elementary in the Monroe School District, but it outperforms some schools in neighboring districts, such as Belleville Elementary and Ronald R. Albrecht Elementary.
