Summary:
The city of Plover, Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools, Roosevelt Elementary and Plover-Whiting Elementary, both serving grades K-6 and part of the Stevens Point Area Public School District. While the schools have some similarities, there are also notable differences in their performance and demographics.
Based on the data, Plover-Whiting Elementary appears to have a slightly higher statewide ranking, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Roosevelt Elementary's 2-star rating. Plover-Whiting also generally outperforms Roosevelt in English Language Arts proficiency, particularly in 4th and 6th grades. However, Roosevelt Elementary has higher Mathematics proficiency rates in most grade levels. Both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7%, which is an area that may need to be addressed.
In terms of demographics, Roosevelt Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (46.63%) compared to Plover-Whiting Elementary (39.43%). This socioeconomic difference may contribute to the variations in academic performance between the two schools. Additionally, Plover-Whiting Elementary spends more per student ($13,376) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8) than Roosevelt Elementary ($12,600 per student, 13.3 student-teacher ratio), but these factors do not seem to translate to significantly better outcomes.
