Summary:
The Abbotsford School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Abbotsford Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.
Abbotsford Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 24.53% to 29.55%, compared to the state average of 52.07% to 53.75%. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates were also significantly lower, ranging from 19.67% to 23.91%, compared to the state average of 54.24% to 56.58%. This suggests the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 2.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is better than the state average. However, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 75.52% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending of $12,265 for the 2020-2021 school year is relatively high, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
