Summary:
The city of Cudahy, Wisconsin is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance across the district, with some standout schools like Lincoln Elementary and Kosciuszko Elementary performing relatively well, while other elementary schools and the high school and middle school face more significant challenges.
Lincoln Elementary stands out as the top performer in the district, with 61-82% of students proficient or better in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. It is ranked 572 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools, the highest in the Cudahy School District. Kosciuszko Elementary also performs relatively well, with proficiency rates of 51-60% in English Language Arts and 34-56% in Mathematics.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with performance on state assessments generally below Wisconsin averages, especially in Mathematics. Graduation rates at Cudahy High School are below the state average, and chronic absenteeism is a concern across multiple schools. The data suggests the district serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which likely contributes to the academic performance issues. Identifying and scaling the practices that are working at the stronger elementary schools could be a valuable strategy for the district.
