Coleman School District

The Coleman School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Coleman Elementary, Coleman High, and Coleman Middle. The district demonstrates a mix of strong academic performance and areas for improvement, with standout schools like Coleman High and Coleman Middle leading the way.

Coleman High School is a particular strength, ranking 99 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 91.0% four-year graduation rate, a low 1.3% dropout rate, and strong academic performance, exceeding state averages in 10th grade Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Mathematics. Coleman Middle School is another standout, ranking 140 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools and consistently outperforming the state and district in multiple grade levels and subject areas.

While the district overall demonstrates positive academic outcomes, there are some areas of concern. Coleman Elementary lags behind the state averages in several subject areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grade, and the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is a significant challenge. Additionally, the disparities in spending per student across the schools suggest that factors beyond just funding may be driving student success. The district also faces equity considerations, with high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary level, indicating a need to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.
