Summary:
The Chequamegon School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Park Falls Elementary and Glidden Elementary. While Park Falls Elementary is the larger and more prominent school, both serve students in the area with a focus on providing quality education.
Park Falls Elementary has a significantly higher enrollment of 285 students compared to Glidden Elementary's 28 students. Additionally, Park Falls Elementary has a longer history of statewide school rankings, with data available for the past three school years. The school has been ranked in the range of 520-720 out of 1,044-1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Park Falls Elementary generally performs better than the Chequamegon School District and the state of Wisconsin in terms of the percentage of students proficient or better in the Forward Exam for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. However, there is a noticeable decline in proficiency rates from 3rd grade to 5th grade, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, which warrants further investigation. Additionally, Park Falls Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
