Summary:
The Waupun School District in Wisconsin is home to three elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools include Rock River Intermediate, Meadow View Primary, and School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies, a public charter school.
Among the three schools, the School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, 81.82% of 5th and 6th graders at this school scored proficient or better on state assessments, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school also boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, which may contribute to its success. Meanwhile, Rock River Intermediate maintains a more consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally on par with or slightly above the district averages.
Across the district, the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% and a significant proportion of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 48.35% to 56.19%. Addressing these issues and ensuring equitable access to resources could be important focus areas for the district moving forward.
