Summary:
The city of Amherst, Wisconsin is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and no alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance.
Amherst Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with consistently strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed district and state averages. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%. Similarly, Amherst High boasts impressive graduation rates, low dropout rates, and above-average test scores in multiple subjects. Amherst Middle has also maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years, with students performing well above district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
In contrast, the two charter schools in the area, Tomorrow River Community Charter and Tomorrow River Virtual Charter School (TRVCS), lag behind the traditional public schools in many academic areas. TRVCS, in particular, has a concerning 28.5% dropout rate and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 7.3%. These performance gaps between the traditional and charter schools suggest potential challenges in attracting and retaining students for the charter schools.
