Summary

Hurley Elementary is a public elementary school in Hurley, Wisconsin, serving 235 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hurley School District. The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years, but has excelled in certain areas, such as supporting its special education students.

Hurley Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been on par with the district's overall performance, and the school has also performed well in Social Studies and Science for 4th grade. However, the school's performance for female students and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students has been more variable, indicating a need to address the specific needs of these subgroups. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting its overall academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, Hurley Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, suggesting that the school has been able to allocate more resources to support student learning. This may have contributed to the school's exceptional performance for its special education students, which ranked 6 out of 770 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023. By continuing to focus on addressing the needs of all student subgroups and improving attendance, Hurley Elementary can work towards more consistent and equitable academic outcomes.
