Summary:
The city of Wittenberg, Wisconsin is home to two schools - Wittenberg Elementary and Wittenberg-Birnamwood High, both part of the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District. Wittenberg Elementary serves grades PK-8 with 443 students, while Wittenberg-Birnamwood High serves grades 9-12 with 331 students.
Wittenberg Elementary appears to be an underperforming school, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Wittenberg-Birnamwood High is performing relatively better, with a higher graduation rate and some subject areas where test scores exceed the district and state averages. However, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
The data also suggests potential funding disparities, with Wittenberg-Birnamwood High spending $13,007 per student compared to $10,716 per student at Wittenberg Elementary. This difference in per-student spending could be impacting the quality of education at the elementary level. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student performance, particularly at the elementary school, and address systemic issues such as chronic absenteeism and funding disparities.
