Glenwood City School District

The Glenwood City School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Glenwood City Elementary, Glenwood City High, and Glenwood City Middle. The data analysis reveals a mixed performance within the district, with Glenwood City High being the standout school, consistently ranking among the top 25-75 high schools in Wisconsin and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Glenwood City Elementary and Glenwood City Middle have lower rankings and performance metrics compared to the high school and the state averages. Glenwood City Elementary is ranked in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools and has relatively low proficiency rates in English language arts and mathematics. Glenwood City Middle also has a lower ranking and mixed performance on the Forward Exam. The district as a whole faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, which is significantly higher than the state average across all three schools.

Additionally, the data suggests potential equity concerns, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, especially at the elementary and middle school levels. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios among the schools may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation within the district, which could be affecting the quality of education. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the overall performance of the Glenwood City School District.
