River Falls School District

The River Falls School District in Wisconsin operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools in the district, Meyer Middle School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Wisconsin middle schools, with strong test scores, particularly in math and social studies. Greenwood Elementary also excels, with over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th graders, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. The district's main high school, River Falls High, has consistently ranked in the top 15% of Wisconsin high schools, with a strong 91% four-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate of 1.3%.

While the district generally performs well on state assessments, with many schools exceeding the state average in proficiency rates, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all schools is a potential area of concern. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equitable access to funding and staffing.
