Summary:
The Cumberland School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Cumberland Elementary, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 500 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 625 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, and it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Cumberland Elementary's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (50.43% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,567 for the 2020-2021 school year and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.2, the school is not performing as well as the state average.
These findings suggest that Cumberland Elementary may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more effective instructional strategies to improve student outcomes and increase its statewide ranking. The school's challenges could be influenced by socioeconomic factors, and addressing these issues may be crucial for the school to better serve its students and the surrounding community.
