Summary:
The Benton School District in Wisconsin contains a single elementary school, Benton Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. Despite being the sole elementary school in the district, Benton Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 427 and 431 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools over the past few years.
Academically, Benton Elementary's students perform above the state average in several subjects, including English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, particularly in the lower grades. However, the school's 5th grade ELA performance falls below the state average, indicating a potential area for improvement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.5 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $13,201 for the 2020-2021 school year suggests a focus on resource allocation to support student learning. Nevertheless, the school faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may impact overall academic achievement.
Overall, Benton Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the Benton School District, with some areas for potential improvement, particularly in 5th grade ELA and attendance. The school's demographic and resource allocation data suggest it is making efforts to support its students, but continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address any persistent challenges.
