Summary:
The city of Arcadia, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Arcadia Elementary, Arcadia High, and Arcadia Middle. While the Arcadia School District as a whole is performing below the state average, there are some notable differences between the three schools.
Arcadia Middle School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, with the strongest test scores, lowest chronic absenteeism rate, and a 0% dropout rate. In contrast, Arcadia High School has relatively low test scores compared to the state average, despite having a high graduation rate and low dropout rate. Arcadia Elementary School lags behind the other two schools, with consistently low test scores and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
The data also reveals that all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges facing the student population. Additionally, the large discrepancies in test scores between the Arcadia schools and the state averages suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to help students reach proficiency levels on par with the rest of Wisconsin.
