Summary

Almond-Bancroft Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Almond-Bancroft School District in Almond, Wisconsin. The school has 171 students and is ranked 699 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Almond-Bancroft Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently lower test scores compared to the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.73% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.3% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.71% to 57.67% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Amherst Elementary, which is located about 15 miles away, Almond-Bancroft Elementary generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, Almond-Bancroft Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio than many of the nearby schools, which could be a potential strength. The overall performance of the Almond-Bancroft School District is also a concern, as it is ranked near the bottom of Wisconsin school districts.
