Summary:
The Cudahy School District in Wisconsin serves students from 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with students underperforming on standardized tests compared to state averages and high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism across the schools.
While the district as a whole struggles, a few schools stand out. Lincoln Elementary has some of the highest test scores in the district, with 68.89% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 82.86% of 4th graders proficient or better in Social Studies. Mitchell Elementary also has solid test scores and the highest spending per student at $15,515. Cudahy High School has a strong 91% four-year graduation rate, though its test scores lag behind the state averages.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 17.7% to 27.7%, and a significant majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The district will need to address these challenges and disparities in academic performance to improve outcomes for all students in the Cudahy School District.
