Summary:
The Ellsworth Community School District in Ellsworth, Wisconsin, has one elementary school, Ellsworth Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 745 students. Ellsworth Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the district and the state of Wisconsin, with a steadily improving state-wide ranking and generally above-average performance on standardized assessments.
Ellsworth Elementary's state-wide ranking has improved from 502 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 483 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is generally above the state average, particularly in 5th grade math (66.99% proficient or better vs. 52.58% statewide) and 4th grade social studies (65.09% vs. 63.65% statewide). Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.6 is lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.
While Ellsworth Elementary has several strengths, the school also faces some challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024 is an area for potential improvement, and the free/reduced lunch rate of 37.18% in 2023-2024 suggests a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support. The school's above-average per-student spending of $11,872 in 2020-2021 suggests a commitment to providing adequate resources, but further analysis of how these resources are allocated could provide valuable insights to support the school's ongoing development and student success.
