Within the district, Rock River Intermediate stands out as a relatively strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 60% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 3 years with a 2-star rating. The school has relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding the Waupun School District and Wisconsin state averages in several grade levels. In contrast, Waupun Area Senior High lags behind the state averages in ACT proficiency for 10th-grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, despite maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as the declining performance of Meadow View Primary, the district's only pre-K to 1st-grade school, which has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking over the years. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools in the district, coupled with the elevated chronic absenteeism rates, may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement.
