of 1,044 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Jerstad-Agerholm School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Racine Unified School District in Wisconsin, with an enrollment of 865 students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jerstad-Agerholm students consistently perform well below state and district averages on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.18% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.14% statewide and 25.76% in the Racine district. Math proficiency rates were similarly low, with just 15.91% of 3rd graders reaching proficiency compared to 55% statewide. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 15% of Wisconsin elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and White student performance, as well as for its special education and low-income students.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Jefferson Lighthouse Elementary, Gilmore Fine Arts School, and Roosevelt Elementary generally outperform Jerstad-Agerholm across academic metrics, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests the issue may be specific to Jerstad-Agerholm's approach or resources. The Racine Unified School District as a whole struggles academically, ranking in the bottom 5% of districts statewide, but some schools within the district are able to achieve better results, highlighting the potential for improvement.
