Summary

Cuba City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 272 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of Cuba City, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Cuba City School District, which is ranked 108 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cuba City Elementary has shown a mixed performance on the Forward Exam, with strong results in 3rd grade English Language Arts (68.57% proficient or better) and 3rd grade Mathematics (85.71% proficient or better), outperforming the state averages. However, the school struggled in 5th grade English Language Arts (28.95% proficient or better) and 5th grade Mathematics (36.84% proficient or better), falling well below the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, Cuba City Elementary generally performs better than Darlington Elementary/Middle and Shullsburg Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Westview Elementary and Benton Elementary.

The school's performance on the Forward Exam for White students and Special Education students is generally stronger than for Low Socioeconomic Status students, suggesting the need for additional support and interventions to address equity and opportunity gaps. Additionally, Cuba City Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.8% in 2021-2022 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, and the school's dropout rate has also fluctuated over the past few years. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance is not consistently strong compared to nearby schools, indicating the need to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of resource allocation.
