Summary:
The Alma Center School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Lincoln Elementary, which serves students from grades 3 through 6. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 533 out of 1,067 schools in 2022-2023 to 622 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024, its academic results have been mixed compared to state averages.
Lincoln Elementary's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, have been above the state average in 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, but below the state average in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.58% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, Lincoln Elementary's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $11,642, which is higher than the state average.
Overall, the analysis of Lincoln Elementary suggests that the school faces some inconsistencies in its academic performance, with strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but struggles in others. The school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to its students, but the mixed results suggest that these efforts may not be fully translating to improved student outcomes.
