Summary

New Lisbon Elementary is a public elementary school serving 314 students in grades PK-6 in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, which is part of the New Lisbon School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

New Lisbon Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade, 65.52% of students were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 52.14%, while in 5th grade, only 18.6% were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 4.8% 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 eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.27% to 56.37% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Wonewoc-Center Elementary, New Lisbon Elementary generally performs worse academically. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 12.1 over the past few years, which is comparable to or better than many of the nearby schools. Addressing the challenges faced by New Lisbon Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions for struggling students, efforts to improve attendance, and potentially increased funding and resources to support the school's educational programs.
