Summary:
The Flambeau School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Flambeau Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores and other key metrics, is generally below the state average, and its statewide ranking has been declining in recent years.
Flambeau Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Forward Exam are also below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 35.48% to 47.62% in ELA and 38.1% to 66.67% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.26% to 52.21% in ELA and 52.58% to 55% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.59% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $15,897 in the 2020-2021 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, its academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that the school and district may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and explore ways to address the challenges faced by the school, such as high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning.
