English Language Arts was mixed — 3rd grade rose to 73.33% while 4th grade slipped to 65.71% — and Science softened to 61.43% after 69.01%, though it still beat the state.
Chronic absenteeism is a notable strength: 9.4% at the school versus 11.9% in the district and 17.3% statewide. The school reports 22.6% free/reduced lunch participation, a 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio, and $14,697 in per-student spending. The Poynette School District itself is rated 4 stars and ranked 96 of 432 districts, so the school performs at or slightly above its district context. Overall, this is a consistently above-state school, with the 4th grade ELA dip and the narrowing Science advantage as the main items worth watching.
