Summary:
The Almond-Bancroft School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Almond-Bancroft Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 171 students.
Almond-Bancroft Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, with a 1-2 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam have been below the state averages in English Language Arts for grades 3-5, though they were above the state average in Math for grade 3 in 2024-2025. The school also performed better than the state average in 4th grade Social Studies but below the state average in 4th grade Science. Additionally, Almond-Bancroft Elementary had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, and nearly 50% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's low performance, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $13,965 in 2020-2021. However, the overall challenges faced by the Almond-Bancroft School District, which is ranked near the bottom of all districts in Wisconsin, are reflected in the performance of Almond-Bancroft Elementary. Improving student outcomes and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate should be key priorities for the school and district.
