Summary:
The Clear Lake School District has only one elementary school, Gaylord A Nelson Educational Center, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 269 students.
While the school has some bright spots, such as strong 6th grade Mathematics scores, its overall performance has been declining in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 523 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 715 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state average in several grade levels, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is significantly higher than the state average.
The school faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.26%) and relatively low per-student spending ($11,895). While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is lower than the state average, these factors may be contributing to the school's academic performance and the resources available to support student learning. The district and school leaders will need to closely monitor and address these areas of concern to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes for students.
