Summary

Lake Delton Elementary is a public elementary school serving 218 students in grades PK-5 in the Wisconsin Dells School District. The school has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 243 to 587 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. However, Lake Delton Elementary generally performs better than the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with higher percentages of students proficient or better in these subjects.

One of the school's strengths is its performance for certain student subgroups, particularly Hispanic students and English Language Learners. In 2023-2024, Lake Delton Elementary ranked 74 out of 331 Wisconsin elementary schools for Hispanic students and 27 out of 269 for English Language Learners, with 4-star and 5-star ratings, respectively. However, the school's performance for male students and white students has been relatively weaker. Additionally, Lake Delton Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 23.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69.27% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This is higher than the nearby Spring Hill Elementary, which had 59.33% of students eligible. Despite these challenges, Lake Delton Elementary maintains a relatively high per-student spending of $12,345 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the nearby Spring Hill Elementary and the state average.

Older building but does not deter from the superb staff. Everyone in the building works hard and strives to give their very best to every student. Close Quote
