Summary:
The Adams-Friendship Area School District has only one elementary school, Adams-Friendship Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 494 students. The school's performance has been consistently below average compared to other elementary schools in Wisconsin, ranking 834 out of 1,061 and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Adams-Friendship Elementary struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are all below the state averages for 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 4th grade ELA, the school had a 31.08% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 53.42%. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the district's investment in the school, with higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes than the state average, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges, particularly in the areas of chronic absenteeism and academic achievement, should be a priority for the district and the community to ensure that students at Adams-Friendship Elementary receive a high-quality education.
