Summary:
The Columbus School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Columbus Elementary and Discovery Charter School. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Discovery Charter School stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance, with significantly higher 3rd-grade proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages in both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. This suggests the school may have effective mathematics instruction and curriculum. In contrast, Columbus Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past two school years, ranking in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools, and has relatively high proficiency rates in several subject areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grades.
Both schools have similar per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, indicating a focus on resource allocation and small class sizes. However, the schools serve student populations with moderate levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their free and reduced-price lunch rates. Understanding the performance and support mechanisms for these students could help identify opportunities to promote greater educational equity within the district.
