Summary:
The city of Adams, Wisconsin is home to three schools in the Adams-Friendship Area School District: Adams-Friendship Elementary, Adams-Friendship High, and Adams-Friendship Middle. While the schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, the data indicates that they are consistently performing below the state average on a variety of metrics, including test scores, attendance rates, and statewide rankings.
Across the district, test scores are significantly lower than the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and ACT subjects falling well short of the benchmarks. Attendance is also a concern, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.6% at the middle school to 30.4% at the high school. Despite a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95% at the high school, the district also struggles with a 2.4% dropout rate, which is still a cause for concern.
The data also reveals that the schools serve a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 61.85% at the high school to 72.22% at the middle school. This factor may be contributing to the overall low performance of the schools and should be considered in any improvement efforts. To address the challenges faced by the Adams-Friendship Area School District, a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple factors, such as instructional quality, student engagement, family and community involvement, and resource allocation, may be necessary.
