Summary

Wittenberg Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District, located in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. The school has 459 students and is part of a district ranked 253 out of 426 districts in the state, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wittenberg Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom half or quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools for female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Wittenberg Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates and a concerning increase in dropout rates over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, Birnamwood Elementary, which is also part of the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District, consistently outperforms Wittenberg Elementary on academic measures and has higher rankings within the state. This suggests that the challenges faced by Wittenberg Elementary may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the entire district. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's socioeconomic factors, resource allocation, and staffing strategies.
