Summary

Whitehall Memorial Elementary is a public elementary school serving 437 students in grades PK-6 in Whitehall, Wisconsin, which is part of the Whitehall School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is below the state average. Whitehall Memorial Elementary's student performance on the Forward Exam is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 33.33% compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school has also seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

While Whitehall Memorial Elementary's Hispanic students and English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well compared to their peers, the school lags behind many of its regional peers, such as Ettrick Elementary and Eleva-Strum Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and school rankings. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the increased spending per student at Whitehall Memorial Elementary, from $11,284 in 2018-2019 to $12,352 in 2020-2021, the school has not yet seen significant improvements in student outcomes. To address these challenges, the school and Whitehall School District may need to closely examine their instructional practices, attendance policies, and resource allocation to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
