Lac du Flambeau Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three school years, with a ranking of 941 out of 1,061 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.29% to 39.13% in English Language Arts and 14.58% to 31.71% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 50.36% to 54.10% and 53.29% to 56.58%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it appears to have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which could be a positive factor in terms of individualized attention and support for students. However, the high spending per student of $24,578 in the 2020-2021 school year suggests that additional resources may not be translating into improved educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the Lac du Flambeau area faces significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational opportunities and outcomes for the community.
