Summary
Flambeau Elementary is a public elementary school in Tony, Wisconsin, serving 197 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Flambeau School District, which is ranked 380 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Flambeau Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects consistently below the Wisconsin state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 47.62%, compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female, male, and white students, as well as students with special needs and those from low-income families. Additionally, Flambeau Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 19.5%, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.
Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Holcombe Elementary, Bruce Elementary, and Ladysmith Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, suggesting that the challenges faced by Flambeau Elementary may be indicative of broader systemic issues within the region or the state's education system. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating that a more comprehensive, multi-faceted approach may be needed to address the school's challenges.
