Summary:
The city of Benton, Wisconsin is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Benton Elementary, Benton High, and Benton Middle. These schools, part of the Benton School District, demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Benton High and Benton Middle standing out as particularly strong performers.
Benton High School is the top-performing school in the district, ranking 129 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 93.3% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, while also outperforming the state average on 10th-grade social studies proficiency. Benton Middle School also shines, ranking 193 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school demonstrates strong performance in 7th and 8th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as exceptional results in 8th-grade social studies and science.
In contrast, Benton Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school still performs above the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's resource allocation, with Benton High spending significantly more per student than Benton Middle, raises questions about equity and the potential impact on educational experiences across grade levels.
