Summary:
The Algoma School District in Wisconsin consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school and 2 high schools (1 traditional and 1 charter). The data reveals a mixed picture, with Algoma Elementary standing out as the strongest performer, while the high schools struggle to meet state academic benchmarks.
Algoma Elementary outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam for grades 3-6 and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Algoma High and Algoma Venture Academy (the charter high school) struggle to meet state averages in these core subjects, particularly in the higher grades. However, Algoma Venture Academy stands out with stronger performance in 10th grade Social Studies and a lower dropout rate.
The data also reveals that the Algoma School District as a whole has relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a student population with significant economic challenges. While the high schools spend more per student, the elementary school maintains a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention at the elementary level.
