What stands out at Drought Elementary
Drought Elementary is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Franksville, Wisconsin, enrolling 109 students.
At 13.6:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Wisconsin median, within a few percentage points of the 14.4:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 32.5% lands close to the Wisconsin typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 109 puts it in the smaller third of Wisconsin schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 2,202 scored Wisconsin schools.
Against 204 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #67.
Its student body is led by White (76%) and Hispanic or Latino (21%) (diversity index 38/100).

Among Franksville's public schools, it stands alongside Raymond Elementary (385 students): Drought Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (13.6:1 vs 12.4:1).
