Summary:
The Twin Lakes #4 School District in Wisconsin has two elementary schools: Lakewood Elementary and Learning by Design Academy. Lakewood Elementary is the larger and more established school, with 271 students enrolled, while Learning by Design Academy has only 12 students.
Lakewood Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels scoring above the district and state averages in subjects like Mathematics, while others fall below in areas like English Language Arts. The school's strongest performance is in 7th grade English Language Arts, where 61.29% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the district average of 61.29% and the state average of 53.59%. Both schools have a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3%, which is lower than the state average. Lakewood Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 41.7%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, compared to 33.33% at Learning by Design Academy.
Lakewood Elementary spends $16,138 per student, which is higher than the national average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, suggesting smaller class sizes. In contrast, Learning by Design Academy has a much higher student-teacher ratio of 120, likely due to its virtual/online nature. The data suggests that while Lakewood Elementary is investing resources in smaller class sizes and potentially more personalized instruction, these investments may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes across all grade levels and subjects.
