Summary:
The Neillsville School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Neillsville Elementary, Neillsville High, and Neillsville Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Neillsville Elementary stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as strong performance in 4th grade Social Studies. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years. In contrast, Neillsville High has struggled with test scores, despite an impressive 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. Neillsville Middle has shown improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars, but has underperformed in English Language Arts proficiency.
Across the district, all three schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and significant percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The variation in per-student spending, with Neillsville Middle receiving the highest funding, raises questions about resource allocation and whether it is being directed to the areas of greatest need. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and attendance issues could be key focus areas for the district to improve overall student outcomes.
