Summary

Algoma Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Algoma School District in Algoma, Wisconsin. With 319 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, receiving 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Algoma Elementary faces several key challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. The school's test scores on the Forward Exam are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 31.11% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 53.66%. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 19.5% in 2022-2023, significantly above the state average.
