Summary:
The Abbotsford School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Abbotsford Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Academically, Abbotsford Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on the Forward Exam that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.26% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school's math proficiency rates are even lower, with just 11.63% of 3rd graders and 6.12% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding standards. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is well above the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,265 for the 2020-2021 school year, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 75.12% in the 2023-2024 school year. Overall, the data indicates that Abbotsford Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and the district may need to consider additional support and resources to help improve student outcomes.
