Summary:
The Fond du Lac School District in Wisconsin is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance and other key metrics among these schools, with some standouts and others struggling to meet benchmarks.
Lakeshore Elementary emerges as the top performer, ranking 18th out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With over 75% of students proficient or better in core subjects and a low chronic absenteeism rate, Lakeshore sets the bar high. In contrast, Chegwin Elementary and Parkside Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates below 40% in several subjects and higher chronic absenteeism.
The data suggests a correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Riverside Elementary and Chegwin Elementary, tend to have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The Fond du Lac School District has an opportunity to identify the unique challenges faced by each school and implement targeted interventions to address these disparities and support student learning across the board.
