Summary:
The Salem School District in Wisconsin has one school, Salem Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 957 students. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 392 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 533 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. While the school performs well in some subject areas and grade levels, it struggles in others, indicating potential areas for improvement.
Salem Elementary faces socioeconomic challenges, with a 36.57% free and reduced-price lunch rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school is well-resourced, with a per-student spending of $13,665 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9. However, the mixed academic performance suggests that resources alone may not be the sole determinant of student success, and further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance may be necessary.
Overall, the analysis of the data provided for Salem Elementary highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the school's context, challenges, and strategies to support student achievement. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its students.
