Summary:
The Linn J4 School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Traver Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance and characteristics suggest some areas of concern that the district may need to address.
Traver Elementary has a relatively low statewide ranking, ranking 774 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed, with below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, though some grades and subjects have shown improvement over the past few years. The school's small student population of 87 students includes a high percentage, 57.47%, who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.2 to 1 and relatively high per-student spending of $17,977, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to the fluctuations in its performance on the Forward Exam. The district and school leadership may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and utilization, as well as implement targeted interventions to address the specific learning needs and attendance challenges of the student population at Traver Elementary.
