Summary:
The Tigerton School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Tigerton Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic performance challenges.
Tigerton Elementary's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, are generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 28.57% to 57.89% in ELA and 28.57% to 57.89% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 52.07% to 53.75% in ELA and 54.24% to 56.58% in Mathematics. The school's performance in Social Studies and Science for 4th grade is also below the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,530 and low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Tigerton Elementary's academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.69% in the 2022-2023 school year, also indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be impacting academic outcomes.
