Summary:
The city of Camp Douglas, Wisconsin has just one school serving grades 2-5 - Camp Douglas Elementary, which is part of the Tomah Area School District. With a total enrollment of 67 students, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 542nd out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 768th out of 1,061 in 2023-2024.
Camp Douglas Elementary's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are generally below the Tomah Area School District and Wisconsin state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 35.29% compared to the district's 43.59% and the state's 52.07%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 8.8% in 2022-2023, which is likely impacting student performance.
Despite the school's underperformance, it has relatively high per-student spending of $12,474 in 2020-2021 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1. However, a significant factor may be the high percentage (53.73%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
