For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency at Peshtigo Elementary is 51.43% compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 40.57%, indicating a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. The school's per-student spending of $11,443 is also higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, Peshtigo Elementary has room for improvement in academic performance and addressing student needs, particularly for economically disadvantaged students and those with attendance issues.
