Summary:
The city of Lodi, Wisconsin is home to a strong school district with 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district is a high-performing one, with all of its schools ranking in the top quartile of their respective school types in the state. The standout schools in the district include Lodi High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 25% of high schools in Wisconsin and boasts a 91% 4-year graduation rate, and Lodi Middle School, which also performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin middle schools.
The Lodi School District as a whole appears to be doing an effective job in supporting student achievement, with students performing significantly better than the state average on standardized tests. The district's schools spend between $12,800 and $13,600 per student, which is on the higher end compared to state averages, and maintain relatively small class sizes with student-teacher ratios ranging from 11.6 to 16.6.
One interesting finding is the presence of the Ouisconsing School of Collaboration, a public charter elementary school that stands out as a high-performing, smaller school option in the district. While its overall ranking is lower than the other elementary schools, it has some impressive academic results, particularly in 4th and 5th grade math and science. The district may have opportunities to further address equity and attendance issues, as the free/reduced lunch rates vary across schools and the chronic absenteeism rate is relatively high at 17.7%.
