Summary

Banting Elementary is a public elementary school in Waukesha, Wisconsin, serving 533 students in grades PK-5. The school's performance has been mixed, with some grades and subjects outperforming the district and state averages, while others lag behind. Banting's student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, have shown strong performance, ranking in the top quartile of Wisconsin elementary schools. However, the school's White and Low Socioeconomic Status students have performed relatively lower.

Compared to nearby schools in the Waukesha School District, Banting's performance is mixed. For example, Hillcrest Elementary and White Rock School have consistently outperformed Banting on the Forward Exam, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Banting's performance is generally stronger than that of Hawthorne Elementary and Hadfield Elementary, which have struggled with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.

One notable comparison is the Waukesha STEM Academy, a public charter school in the district, which has significantly outperformed Banting Elementary on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas. This suggests that the specialized STEM focus may be contributing to the Waukesha STEM Academy's academic success. Additionally, Banting Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its lower performance for White and Low Socioeconomic Status students, indicates that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's overall academic outcomes.
