Summary:
The city of Orfordville, Wisconsin is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual charter school). The schools in this district demonstrate a mix of performance, with some standout schools like Parkview Elementary and Parkview High performing well above state averages, while others face challenges such as high student-teacher ratios and funding disparities.
Parkview Elementary stands out as a strong-performing school, with students consistently exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Parkview High also impresses with a high 91% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, indicating the school is providing a supportive environment for its students. The Parkview Academy of Virtual Education, a virtual charter high school, has similar graduation and dropout rates as the traditional high school, demonstrating the effectiveness of its unique delivery model.
However, the district also faces challenges, such as relatively high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools, ranging from 37.93% to 46.78%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $8,904 at Parkview High to $23,431 at Parkview Junior High, suggests potential funding inequities within the Parkview School District that may impact educational outcomes across the system.
