Summary:
The city of Bruce, Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Bruce Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Bruce Elementary is a struggling school that consistently performs below the state average on academic measures and ranks in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools.
Bruce Elementary has a SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 25.81% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts and 35.48% proficient in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to its overall low performance.
While Bruce Elementary has a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1 and per-student spending of $14,590, these factors do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's challenges. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.69%, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic needs. Overall, the data indicates that Bruce School District and the city of Bruce as a whole may need to provide additional support and resources to improve the performance of Bruce Elementary and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
