Summary:
The city of Jim Falls, Wisconsin has just one public elementary school, Jim Falls Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 236th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 585th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, its performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with strengths in some subject areas and grade levels but weaknesses in others.
Compared to the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District and the state of Wisconsin, Jim Falls Elementary has had varying performance, outperforming the district and state averages in some areas while falling behind in others. The school's relatively small student population of 117 students and a 27.35% free and reduced-price lunch rate suggest a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student body.
Despite the school's declining statewide ranking and inconsistent academic performance, it appears to have adequate resources, with a per-student spending of $14,036, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which is lower than the national average. By addressing the root causes of the school's performance challenges and building on its strengths, the district and school leaders can work to improve educational outcomes for the students of Jim Falls Elementary.
