Summary:
The Alma Center School District in Wisconsin operates two schools: Lincoln Elementary and Lincoln Junior/Senior High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both have seen declines in their statewide rankings over the past three years and perform significantly below state averages on key metrics.
Lincoln Elementary has dropped from the 533rd out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 802nd out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, and has a low 1-out-of-5-star SchoolDigger rating. Similarly, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School has fallen from 260th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 283rd out of 431 in 2024-2025, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates than the state averages on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
Additionally, both schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.59% for Lincoln Elementary and 57.69% for Lincoln Junior/Senior High School in 2023-2024. The schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% at both campuses. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to underperform, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach targeting instructional quality, curriculum, and student support services may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in the Alma Center School District.
