Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Cashton Middle/High at 11.4:1 and Cashton Elementary at 11:1. However, a significant percentage of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch, 37% at Cashton Middle/High and 43.84% at Cashton Elementary, suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic performance and the resources available to support these students.
While Cashton Middle/High School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it still manages to outperform the state average in several academic areas. Cashton Elementary School, on the other hand, maintains a solid ranking and outperforms the state average in specific subject areas. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Cashton Elementary spending more, could be an area for further investigation to understand the factors driving this disparity and how it may impact the educational experience and outcomes.
