Summary:
The city of Cambria, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Cambria Friesland Middle/High and Cambria Friesland Elementary, both part of the Cambria-Friesland School District. While the schools have shown some areas of strength, they also face challenges in academic performance and student engagement that the district will need to address.
Cambria Friesland Middle/High has seen significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 382nd out of 410 Wisconsin high schools in 2017-2018 to 209th out of 415 in 2022-2023. This progress is reflected in its SchoolDigger star rating, which has increased from 0 to 3 stars. In contrast, Cambria Friesland Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating for the past three school years, despite a slight drop in its statewide ranking.
Both schools perform below the state average on the Forward Exam in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating an area for potential improvement. Additionally, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Cambria Friesland Elementary at 14.4%. The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, especially at Cambria Friesland Elementary at 39.46%, suggests that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact their educational outcomes. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could help the Cambria-Friesland School District improve the overall performance and well-being of its students.
