Summary

Ronald R Albrecht Elementary is a public elementary school in Brodhead, Wisconsin, serving 478 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Brodhead School District, which is ranked 327 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, reaching $12,976 in 2020-2021, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind nearby schools like Brooklyn Elementary, Parkside Elementary, and Juda Elementary. On the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, Ronald R Albrecht Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 37.93% to 52.11%, compared to the state average of 51.26% to 52.21%. The school's performance is also generally lower for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students with special needs.

Another area of concern is the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 10.8% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, higher than the rates reported for nearby schools. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 in 2023-2024 is higher than the ratios at some neighboring schools, the school's overall resource allocation and utilization may need further examination to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
