Summary:
The city of Watertown, Wisconsin is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the Watertown Unified School District as a whole performs slightly below the state average on standardized tests, there are several standout schools that significantly outperform the district and state, such as Webster Elementary and LEAP Elementary. These top-performing schools boast proficiency rates as high as 80% in certain subjects.
The charter schools in the district, eCampus Academy Charter School and Endeavor Charter School, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with Endeavor Charter School ranking 5th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate. However, the district faces challenges in serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the varying levels of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism rates across the schools.
The significant differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the Watertown Unified School District suggest that resource allocation and staffing may be areas for further investigation and potential improvement. Overall, the data provides a comprehensive view of the schools in Watertown, highlighting both the strengths and challenges within the district, and presenting opportunities for the district to learn from its high-performing schools and address areas of concern.
