The data reveals significant disparities in the schools' student populations and resource allocation. Waukomis Elementary School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 72.83%, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population. In contrast, Pioneer-Pleasant Vale High School spends the most per student at $17,665 and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
The student racial makeup of the schools also varies, with Waukomis Elementary School having the highest percentage of White students at 86.59% and Pioneer-Pleasant Vale High School having the most diverse student population. This diversity could be an asset, but it may also highlight the need for culturally responsive teaching and support across the schools in the Pioneer-Pleasant Vale and Waukomis districts.
