Summary:
The Potosi School District has one elementary school, Potosi Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 148 students. Potosi Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school within the district, ranking in the top third of Wisconsin elementary schools.
Potosi Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, exceeds the state averages in several subjects, including 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.0%, compared to the state average. Additionally, Potosi Elementary spends $16,069 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1, suggesting the school is well-resourced.
However, the school's 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (20%) is significantly lower than the state average (39.18%), and the school's racial demographics are not fully representative of the state's diversity, with a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to the state average. These areas may warrant further investigation and improvement efforts by the school and district.
