School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies

Summary:

The School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies is a public charter elementary school located in Fox Lake, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 116 students. The school is part of the Waupun School District, which is ranked 304 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has shown inconsistent academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 231 to 704 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's performance on the Forward Exam was mixed, with 3rd-6th grade students performing above the Waupun School District and Wisconsin averages in some subjects but below in others. The school's female students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have generally outperformed their counterparts, but the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.5% in 2020-2021 to 13.1% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, the School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies performs similarly to or slightly better than other schools in the Waupun School District, but lags behind some of the higher-performing elementary schools in the Beaver Dam Unified School District. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate is also significantly higher than the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its inconsistent academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
