Summary:
The Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District in Wisconsin is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Carollton Elementary and Deerfield Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. However, the district as a whole underperforms compared to the state average, suggesting a need for district-wide improvement initiatives.
The data reveals significant variation in test scores across the schools, with Carollton Elementary boasting an impressive 89.71% proficiency rate in 3rd grade math, while Forest Ridge Elementary had only 34.62% proficiency. There also appears to be a correlation between schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Cedar Hills Elementary, and lower test scores. Additionally, the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the overall underperformance.
Despite these challenges, the data also highlights some bright spots, such as the recent improvement of Meadowview Elementary, which moved from a 3-star to a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district's early childhood education program, represented by the Early Learning Academy, also presents an area for potential investment and resource allocation to support the district's youngest learners.
