Summary:
The Solon Springs School District has one elementary school, Eagles' Wings Public Montessori Charter, which serves students in the area. This public charter school utilizes the Montessori teaching methodology, providing a unique educational approach for its students.
Eagles' Wings Public Montessori Charter has a relatively small student population of 78 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, suggesting a high level of individual attention. However, the school's performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the Forward Exam (Wisconsin's standardized test) that are generally higher than the district and state averages in 2024-2025, but lower in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance.
The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $8,622, which is below the state average, and it has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 43.59%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. These factors may present challenges for the school in terms of resource allocation and supporting the needs of its student population. Despite these challenges, the school's unique Montessori approach and its generally higher performance compared to the district suggest that it may be providing a valuable educational experience for the students in the Solon Springs School District.
