Summary:
The city of Random Lake, Wisconsin is home to a single elementary school, Random Lake Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years, the data provides insights into its performance and the challenges it faces.
Random Lake Elementary's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at 39.39% compared to the state average of 52.14% in 2024-2025. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a significant percentage of students (42.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $11,239 in 2020-2021 is slightly above the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8.
Overall, the data suggests that Random Lake School District and the leadership at Random Lake Elementary may need to focus on addressing the root causes of the low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage among the student population. This could involve implementing targeted interventions, improving instructional practices, and providing additional resources and support to students and families to help improve the school's performance and better support the needs of its students.
