Summary:
The Thorp School District in Wisconsin has one elementary school, Thorp Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects, it also faces challenges, with lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average.
Thorp Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 209th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 580th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects where students perform above the state average, and others where proficiency rates are significantly lower. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.59%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be allocating resources effectively, with a relatively high per-student spending of $10,866 for the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1. However, the uneven academic performance suggests that there may be room for improvement in how these resources are utilized to support student learning and improve overall school performance.
