Summary:
The Black River Falls School District consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Black River Falls area. Based on the available data, the schools in this district appear to be performing below the state average on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates, with no clear standout schools.
The test scores for Black River Falls High School and the district as a whole are significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The elementary schools also show lower proficiency rates compared to the state, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the district's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly lower than the state average.
Other key metrics also indicate challenges across the district. All schools in the Black River Falls School District had a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is also high, ranging from 48.41% at Black River Falls High to 57.57% at Forrest Street Elementary School. While the district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios are in line with state averages, the consistently low performance across the district suggests a need for a comprehensive review of educational strategies and resource allocation to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
