Summary:
The Owen-Withee School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Owen-Withee Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Owen-Withee Elementary has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, signifying below-average performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science were all below the state averages for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.87% in the 2023-2024 school year, which suggests potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance.
Despite the school's lower-than-average performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and higher per-student spending of $14,985 for the 2020-2021 school year, both of which are better than the state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concern and may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers both academic and non-academic factors, as well as the effective allocation of resources to support student success.
