Saint Croix Falls School District

The Saint Croix Falls School District in Wisconsin serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is located in a small town and provides educational opportunities to the surrounding community.

Among the schools in the district, Saint Croix Falls Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 5% of elementary schools in Wisconsin and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel academically, with over 80% proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Saint Croix Falls High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 22% to the bottom 43% of Wisconsin high schools over the past 3 years, despite maintaining a relatively high graduation rate of 91%.

The district's schools exhibit a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While Dresser Elementary and Saint Croix Falls Middle School have lower test scores and rankings, the district as a whole maintains low dropout rates and relatively high graduation rates. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools suggest that attendance and engagement may be areas of concern that need to be addressed. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios indicates that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equity and consistency in educational opportunities for all students.
