Summary:
The Walworth J1 School District has only one elementary school, Walworth Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 429 students. While Walworth Elementary's performance has fluctuated in recent years, the school faces some challenges, including below-average academic achievement, higher-than-average dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Walworth Elementary's statewide school rank has ranged from 658 out of 1,044 schools in 2024-2025 to 752 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating is 2 out of 5 stars in 2024-2025 and 1 out of 5 stars in 2023-2024, indicating below-average performance compared to other Wisconsin schools. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam have been inconsistent, with some grades performing above the state average and others below, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Additionally, Walworth Elementary has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 1.3% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 50.35% in 2023-2024, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, the district's overall low ranking and 1-star rating suggest that there may be district-level factors contributing to the school's performance challenges.
