Manawa School District

The Manawa School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Manawa Elementary, Little Wolf High, and Manawa Middle. The district is ranked 347 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Manawa Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with relatively high test scores, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. The school also has higher spending per student than the other schools in the district. In contrast, Little Wolf High has an impressive 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a lower dropout rate than the state average, but its test scores on the ACT are below the state average.

Manawa Middle has mixed performance, with some grades performing above the state average and others below in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district as a whole has high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which could be an area for improvement. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also contribute to the varying levels of performance, and ensuring equitable resources and staffing could help address any disparities.
