Summary:

The Potosi School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Potosi Elementary, Potosi High, and Potosi Middle. The district is ranked 177 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Potosi Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools and earning 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. The school significantly outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with low chronic absenteeism and high spending per student. In contrast, Potosi Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 4 stars to 2 stars, which could be an area of focus for the district.

Potosi High also performs well, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and above-average ACT scores, suggesting a focus on college and career readiness. However, the consistent chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools is a concern, and the significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates suggests potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that may impact resource allocation and student support needs.
