Summary

State Road Elementary is a public elementary school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 297 students. The school is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 320 out of 426 districts in the state.

Academically, State Road Elementary's performance on the Forward Exam is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 41.67% at State Road Elementary, compared to 46.39% for the district and 52.14% for the state. The school's performance tends to fluctuate, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. Compared to nearby schools in the district, State Road Elementary generally performs below the average, though it outperforms some of the lower-performing schools.

Another area of concern is the high rates of chronic absenteeism at State Road Elementary, ranging from 11.5% to 25.3% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the district, which all have 17.7% chronic absenteeism. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.11% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing them through targeted interventions and support could help improve the school's overall outcomes.
