Summary:
The city of Phelps, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Phelps Elementary and Phelps High, both part of the Phelps School District. While both schools have small student populations, their academic performance is significantly below state averages, with Phelps Elementary ranked 978 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools and Phelps High ranked 378 out of 410 Wisconsin high schools.
Phelps Elementary has an enrollment of 56 students, with a racial makeup of 89.29% white, 1.79% African American, and 3.57% Hispanic. The school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency is well below state standards, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% is also a concern. Phelps High, with an enrollment of 29 students, has a racial makeup of 93.1% white and 3.45% Native American. While the high school has a 100% graduation rate and a low dropout rate, its academic performance is also significantly below state averages.
Despite the high spending per student at both Phelps Elementary ($27,767) and Phelps High ($22,109), the schools' academic outcomes suggest that the Phelps School District may need to explore strategies to improve educational quality and equity for its students. The lack of racial diversity in the student populations may also be reflective of the broader community demographics, and the district may need to address this issue as well.
