Summary:
The Algoma School District has only one elementary school, Algoma Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 338 students. While the school has access to resources like a low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels.
Algoma Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 659 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 826 out of 1,067 in 2021-2022. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other Wisconsin elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.66% in 2022-2023), suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rate (14.6% in 2022-2023).
While the district appears to be allocating resources to support Algoma Elementary, the impact on student outcomes is not yet evident. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's performance and support student success.
