Elementary Schools in Oconto Unified School District

Summary:

The Oconto Unified School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Oconto Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 354 students.

Oconto Elementary has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools and receiving only 1-2 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years. While the school's proficiency rates in some subjects, such as 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, were higher than the state averages, it performed poorly in other areas, particularly 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and the fact that 57.34% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest that Oconto Elementary faces significant challenges related to student engagement and socioeconomic factors.

Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $12,496 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, Oconto Elementary's academic performance has been subpar. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to help improve the school's outcomes and better support the needs of its students.
