Summary:
The Prairie du Chien Area School District consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves the Prairie du Chien area and has a mix of strong-performing and average-performing schools based on academic metrics.
Among the standout schools in the district, Bluff View Middle School and Bluff View Elementary School have demonstrated high proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, with Bluff View Middle ranking 118 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and Bluff View Elementary ranking 367 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools. Meanwhile, Prairie du Chien High School has a strong 91% graduation rate and relatively low 1.3% dropout rate, along with above-average proficiency on standardized tests.
However, the district faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of around 17.7% across all schools and significant disparities in spending per student, with Mighty River Academy of Virtual Education spending the least at $5,168 per student. The district may need to address these equity concerns and funding disparities to ensure all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
