Augusta School District

The Augusta School District in Wisconsin serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 2 high schools (one of which is a charter school). The data reveals a mix of high-performing and steadily improving schools in the district, with some notable differences in key metrics like graduation rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios.

The standout school in the district is Wildlands Charter School, a high school that has consistently ranked among the top schools in the state with 4- and 5-star ratings. It boasts impressive test scores, with 100% of 6th and 7th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 91%. In contrast, Augusta Elementary has shown steady improvement in its test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Social Studies, outperforming the district and state averages.

While the district overall has low dropout rates, all schools face relatively high chronic absenteeism rates around 17.7%. The schools also vary significantly in their free/reduced lunch rates, from 22.54% at Wildlands Charter School to 55.66% at Augusta Middle, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities. The district's spending per student ranges from $14,928 to $16,945, with the highest spending at the elementary school, and student-teacher ratios vary from 7.9 at Augusta High to 12.8 at Wildlands Charter School.
