Summary:
The city of Juda, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Juda Elementary and Juda High, both part of the Juda School District. While Juda Elementary has consistently performed well, with a 3-star rating and strong test scores, Juda High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and underperforms on various academic measures compared to other high schools in Wisconsin.
Juda Elementary stands out as a strong-performing school, ranking in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools and boasting impressive test scores, with 60-80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2%, better than the district and state averages. In contrast, Juda High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 218 out of 400 high schools in 2018-2019 to 347 out of 431 in 2023-2024, and its test scores in core subjects are below the state averages.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the performance differences between the elementary and high school. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Juda High compared to Juda Elementary is an interesting discrepancy that warrants further analysis to understand how it impacts the schools' resources and outcomes.
