Summary:
The city of Arcadia, Wisconsin is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Arcadia Elementary, Arcadia High, and Arcadia Middle. While the Arcadia School District as a whole is ranked in the bottom quarter of districts in Wisconsin, Arcadia Middle School stands out as the strongest performer among the three, with higher test scores and a better statewide ranking compared to the elementary and high school.
Arcadia Middle School has a statewide ranking between 372-429 out of 628-641 middle schools and a 2-star rating, with particularly strong performance in 7th grade English Language Arts (85% proficient) and 7th grade Math (69.14% proficient). In contrast, Arcadia Elementary and Arcadia High have lower statewide rankings and ratings, with Arcadia Elementary ranked 888-923 out of 1,044-1,067 elementary schools and Arcadia High ranked 392-395 out of 431 high schools, both with 1-star or 0-star ratings.
The data also reveals that the Arcadia schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 69.53% at Arcadia High to 86.25% at Arcadia Elementary. Additionally, the district faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a 17.7% rate across all three schools. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the significant gaps between Arcadia school performance and state averages suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district.
