Summary:
The city of Lena, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Lena Elementary, Lena High, and Lena Middle. While the Lena School District as a whole is ranked in the bottom 30% of Wisconsin districts, Lena Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 35% of Wisconsin elementary schools and outperforming the state average in several key academic areas.
Lena Elementary boasts a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and excels in subjects like 4th grade Social Studies and Science, with over 70% proficiency. In contrast, Lena High School, while impressive in its 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, lags behind the state in 10th grade Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Lena Middle and High School have mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average and others below.
Attendance rates also vary significantly, with Lena Elementary having a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 8%, while Lena High has a much higher rate of 28.5%. Additionally, the schools in Lena serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 30% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools. This suggests the district may need to consider additional support and resources for these students to ensure their academic success.
