Summary:
The city of Elroy, Wisconsin has only one high school, Royall High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91%, its statewide ranking has been declining, going from 341 out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 368 out of 431 in 2023-2024 and a projected 234 out of 431 in 2024-2025, suggesting it is performing below average compared to its peers.
Royall High's test scores on the Forward Exam and ACT are generally below the state averages, with only a few subject areas performing above the state level. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, 40.58% of Royall High students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, the school's higher spending per student ($14,183) compared to the state average has not translated into better academic outcomes, indicating that additional funding alone may not be the solution to improving the school's performance. To address these issues, Royall High and the Royall School District may need to focus on improving attendance, supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students, and implementing targeted strategies to boost academic achievement.
