Summary:

The River Falls School District in Wisconsin is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools include Rocky Branch Elementary, Westside Elementary, Greenwood Elementary, River Falls 4 Children, and River Falls Public Montessori Academy.

Greenwood Elementary and Westside Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Wisconsin. Greenwood Elementary excels in Mathematics, with over 80% of 3rd and 4th graders scoring proficient or better, while Westside Elementary also performs well in Social Studies and Science. In contrast, the River Falls Public Montessori Academy underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Across the district, there are concerns about the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios across the schools may suggest potential equity issues within the district. The wide range in per-student spending, from $7,343 to $12,259, also raises questions about resource allocation and its impact on student outcomes.
