Summary:
The city of Stoddard, Wisconsin is home to a single school, Stoddard Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the De Soto Area School District. With a total enrollment of 118 students, Stoddard Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, particularly in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it significantly outperforms the district and state averages.
Stoddard Elementary's proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts (61.11% and 60%, respectively) and Mathematics (66.67% for both grades) are notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also excels in 4th grade Social Studies (88.89%) and Science (72.22%), further demonstrating its academic strengths. Despite these impressive academic achievements, the school faces some challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a relatively high percentage of students (33.05%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
However, Stoddard Elementary appears to be allocating resources effectively, with higher-than-average spending per student ($14,706) and a lower student-teacher ratio (14.3) than the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. The school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years and its relatively stable performance on state assessments suggest that the school's academic excellence is not a one-time occurrence, but rather a reflection of its ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality education to its students.
