Summary:
The city of Hustisford, Wisconsin is home to two schools - John Hustis Elementary and Hustisford High, both part of the Hustisford School District. While John Hustis Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, Hustisford High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 50% to the bottom 20% of high schools.
John Hustis Elementary is the clear standout, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. The school has maintained this high level of academic achievement in recent years. In contrast, Hustisford High School has struggled, with its ranking dropping from 166 out of 390 Wisconsin high schools in 2020-2021 to 352 out of 431 in 2023-2024, and a low 1 out of 5 star rating.
The data suggests that factors such as teaching quality, resource allocation, and student demographics may be influencing the performance gap between the two schools. While both have similar per-student spending, the higher free and reduced-price lunch rate at the elementary school indicates the need to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities. Ultimately, the analysis highlights the importance of maintaining consistent high performance, as demonstrated by John Hustis Elementary, and the opportunities for improvement at Hustisford High School, particularly in areas like 10th-grade Mathematics.
