Summary:
The city of Bloomer, Wisconsin is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Bloomer Elementary, Bloomer High, and Bloomer Middle. While the schools in the Bloomer School District generally perform in the middle to lower range of Wisconsin schools, there are some standout performers and areas for improvement.
Bloomer High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking in the top half of Wisconsin high schools and outperforming the state average in key test score metrics like ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also maintains a high 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Bloomer Elementary and Bloomer Middle School generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, though Bloomer Middle School excels in 8th grade social studies and science.
One significant concern across all three Bloomer schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 13%. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 30.9% at Bloomer High to 38.72% at Bloomer Elementary. While the district allocates resources relatively well, with low student-teacher ratios and moderate spending per student, addressing attendance issues and supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be key to improving educational outcomes for the students in the Bloomer School District.
