Summary:
The city of Walworth, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Big Foot High and Walworth Elementary. While Big Foot High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.0%, its test scores are slightly below the state average, suggesting room for improvement. In contrast, Walworth Elementary excels in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, exceeding the state average, but struggles with Mathematics, particularly in the upper grades.
Regarding school performance, Big Foot High's statewide ranking has declined from 208 out of 391 Wisconsin high schools in 2021-2022 to 268 out of 431 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Walworth Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, from 856 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 752 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating in 2021-2022 and a 2-star rating in 2022-2023.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, with Walworth Elementary at 15.3% for the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the higher free and reduced-price lunch rate at Walworth Elementary (50.23%) compared to Big Foot High (34.21%) may indicate a need to address the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement and provide additional support and resources to the elementary school.
