Best Public Schools in Phelps, WI

The city of Phelps, Wisconsin is home to two schools - Phelps Elementary and Phelps High, both of which serve students in the Phelps School District. While the district is ranked 349 out of 426 in Wisconsin and has a low 1-star rating, the performance of these two schools is mixed, with Phelps Elementary showing some signs of improvement but Phelps High consistently underperforming.

Phelps Elementary has seen fluctuating performance, with a 3-star rating in the most recent year, but lower 2-star and 0-star ratings in previous years. Its test scores are generally below state averages, though there are some exceptions in Social Studies. Phelps High, on the other hand, has consistently low performance, with 0-2 star ratings over the past several years. The school only provided test score data for 10th-grade Social Studies, which was above the state average.

Both schools have very small enrollments, with Phelps Elementary at 67 students and Phelps High at only 25 students. This may present challenges in terms of resource allocation and providing a diverse range of educational opportunities. Additionally, both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve academic performance, equity, and resource allocation.
