Summary

Fratt Elementary is a public elementary school in Racine, Wisconsin, serving 449 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Racine Unified School District, which is ranked 408 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fratt Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.14% statewide and 25.76% in the Racine Unified School District. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 6.67% of 5th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 52.58% statewide and 20.62% in the district. Fratt Elementary also has a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 77.95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

The nearby Gilmore Fine Arts School, Wadewitz Elementary, and RUSD Montessori generally perform better academically than Fratt Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. However, these schools also serve a more socioeconomically advantaged student population. Addressing the challenges faced by Fratt Elementary, such as high chronic absenteeism and the needs of its high-needs student population, will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just additional resources.
