Summary:
The Greenwood School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Greenwood Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking declining in recent years and its academic achievement on standardized tests falling below the state average across multiple grade levels.
Greenwood Elementary's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 24% (5th grade) to 63.64% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 51.26% to 53.66%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 37.5% (5th grade) to 68.18% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 52.58% to 55%. The school's performance on Social Studies and Science exams is also below the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance is still lagging behind. Additionally, Greenwood Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.69% in 2023-2024, which may present unique challenges for the school and district to address. The district and school leaders will need to closely examine these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
