Summary:
The Black Hawk School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Black Hawk Elementary, Black Hawk High, and Black Hawk Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is ranked 275 out of 426 districts in the state, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Black Hawk Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranked in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating. The school's students excel academically, scoring well above the state average in core subjects. In contrast, Black Hawk High appears to struggle, with test scores well below the state average in several areas, suggesting a need to investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap between the elementary/middle schools and the high school.
Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and the significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.39% at Black Hawk High to 52.07% at Black Hawk Elementary. However, the district also has bright spots, such as the strong performance of Black Hawk Elementary and Black Hawk Middle in certain subjects, which could serve as a foundation for improving overall academic achievement across the district.
