Summary:
The Bruce School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Bruce Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is below average compared to other schools in the state.
Bruce Elementary's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 25.81% compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.69% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's low performance and high poverty levels, its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $14,590, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, which is lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing the underlying issues will likely require a comprehensive and targeted approach by the school district and community.
