Summary:
The La Farge School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: La Farge Elementary and Kickapoo Valley Forest School. While both schools face challenges, La Farge Elementary stands out as the stronger performer, with better academic results and a lower student-teacher ratio.
La Farge Elementary, the larger of the two schools with 93 students, ranks in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools but outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, significantly above the state average. In contrast, the smaller Kickapoo Valley Forest School, with 54 students, struggles academically, with only 30.77% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in Math.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across the district suggest a need for additional support and resources to address this issue, which can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. Overall, the data highlights the complexities and challenges faced by the La Farge School District, with both strengths and areas for improvement evident in the performance of its elementary schools.
