Summary:
The Lake Holcombe School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Holcombe Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.
Holcombe Elementary is a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past few years and receiving a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.38% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 52.14%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a dropout rate of 1.3% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($18,477 in the 2020-2021 school year) and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, Holcombe Elementary continues to struggle to provide a quality education for its students. The school's challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (58.4%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students in the Lake Holcombe School District.
