Summary

Wonewoc-Center Elementary is a public elementary school serving 175 students in grades PK-5 in Wonewoc, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Wonewoc-Union Center School District, which is ranked 353 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wonewoc-Center Elementary's performance has been mixed, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 2-star and 3-star ratings in recent years. While the school's 3rd-grade students have outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the 4th-grade students have underperformed in these subjects. Compared to nearby schools, Wonewoc-Center Elementary generally performs better than New Lisbon Elementary and Weston Elementary, but lags behind Hillsboro Elementary and Royall Elementary in some subjects and grade levels.

A concerning issue at Wonewoc-Center Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 7.0% in 2023-2024 to 17.7% in 2023-2024. This rate is on par with the chronic absenteeism rates of nearby schools. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 54.86% to 62.73%. The school should focus on addressing these challenges to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
