Summary:
The Suring Public School District in Wisconsin contains a single elementary school, Suring Elementary, serving students from preschool through 8th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past few years, indicating significant academic challenges.
Suring Elementary's test scores are substantially below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 15.79% (4th grade) to 47.83% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 52.14% to 53.97%. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates ranged from 5.26% (4th grade) to 61.54% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 53.96% to 55.53%. These significant gaps in academic performance suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
Despite the low academic performance, Suring Elementary appears to have adequate resources, with a higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,753 for the 2020-2021 school year and a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 59.71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high poverty rate may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, and the district may need to address these underlying social and economic factors to support student success.
