Summary:
The Athens School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Athens Elementary and Maple Grove School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the local community.
Among the two schools, Maple Grove School stands out for its exceptional performance on English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, with 80% of 3rd graders and 68.75% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on the Forward Exam in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Athens Elementary has a relative strength in Social Studies, with 82.35% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year. However, both schools face challenges in math proficiency, with only 29.41% of 4th graders at Athens Elementary and 33.33% of 4th graders at Maple Grove School scoring proficient or better in the same year.
Despite their differences, both Athens Elementary and Maple Grove School face similar challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the academic performance of the schools and highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population in the Athens School District.
