Summary:
The Weston School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Weston Elementary, which serves students from grades 3 through 6. The school's performance and characteristics have shown some variability over the past few years, with fluctuating rankings and ratings, as well as mixed academic proficiency rates compared to the state average.
Weston Elementary's statewide ranking has ranged from 529 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024 to 767 out of 1,044 schools in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 1 to 3 stars out of 5. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average, while others lag behind. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 3rd grade math proficiency was 72.22% compared to the state average of 55%, but 4th grade ELA proficiency was only 13.33% compared to the state average of 52.21%.
Additionally, Weston Elementary faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a high percentage of students (51.22%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic factors that may impact academic outcomes. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,654 suggests that the district is allocating resources, but the variable academic performance suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistent, strong outcomes for students. The district may want to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's performance and explore ways to address the chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
