Abbotsford School District

The Abbotsford School District in Wisconsin operates two schools: Abbotsford Middle/Senior High and Abbotsford Elementary. Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a high-performing institution, as both have relatively low statewide rankings and underperform on various academic metrics compared to state averages.

Abbotsford Middle/Senior High ranked 404 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2023-2024, with a 0-star rating, while Abbotsford Elementary ranked 948 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. Both schools performed significantly below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels on standardized assessments. Additionally, Abbotsford Middle/Senior High had a 13.7% chronic absenteeism rate, and Abbotsford Elementary had a 2.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which are areas of concern.

The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at both schools (63.12% at Abbotsford Middle/Senior High and 75.52% at Abbotsford Elementary) suggest that the Abbotsford School District serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the schools' overall underperformance. Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with the level of resources invested, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization within the district.
