Summary:
The Shullsburg School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Shullsburg Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Shullsburg Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.63% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the higher per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school is still struggling to achieve academic success, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be playing a role in the school's performance.
Compared to state averages, Shullsburg Elementary's performance on the Forward Exam is significantly below the state averages in both ELA and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.17% to 50% in ELA and 26.32% to 50% in Math, compared to state averages of 51.26% to 52.21% in ELA and 52.58% to 55% in Math. The school's performance in Social Studies and Science for 4th grade is closer to the state average, but the overall academic achievement at Shullsburg Elementary remains a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes.
