Summary:
The city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with some standout schools like Riverview Elementary and Wilson Middle outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Franklin Elementary and Jefferson Elementary struggle to meet benchmarks.
Riverview Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school in the Manitowoc district, with strong performance on the Forward Exam and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Wilson Middle is also a top performer, outpacing the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, McKinley Academy, the district's alternative school, faces unique challenges with high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, despite some success in Social Studies.
Overall, the Manitowoc School District as a whole underperforms the state averages, with significant disparities between the schools. This suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation and support strategies to ensure more equitable outcomes across all schools, particularly focusing on early intervention programs to address performance gaps that emerge as early as the elementary level.
