Summary:
Stoddard, Wisconsin is home to a single elementary school, Stoddard Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 121 students. As a relatively small, rural school within the De Soto Area School District, Stoddard Elementary has a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Stoddard Elementary's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is uneven. The school excels in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages. However, 5th-grade proficiency rates in both subjects are significantly lower than the district and state. The school also stands out with strong 4th-grade performance in Social Studies and Science. Chronic absenteeism is relatively low at 3.8%, and the school benefits from higher-than-average per-student spending and a small student-teacher ratio of 12:1.
While Stoddard Elementary has some academic bright spots, particularly in the lower grades, it struggles to maintain consistent performance, especially in the upper elementary grades. The school's resource allocation and utilization may be an area to explore further to identify opportunities for enhancing student outcomes and better aligning with or exceeding state-level performance.
