Summary:
The Lac du Flambeau #1 School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Lac du Flambeau Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Lac du Flambeau Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14% to 38.3% in English Language Arts and 16% to 38.3% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.26% to 53.97% in ELA and 52.58% to 55.53% in Math. Despite the school district's high per-student spending of $24,578 in the 2020-2021 school year, the school's performance remains consistently low.
Other key metrics for Lac du Flambeau Elementary include a small student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1, a 1.3% dropout rate, and a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors, along with the school's socioeconomic challenges, may be contributing to its poor academic performance and the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student outcomes.
