Alma Center School District

The Alma Center School District in Wisconsin consists of two schools: Lincoln Elementary and Lincoln Junior/Senior High School. While Lincoln Elementary demonstrates strong academic performance in certain subject areas, the district as a whole faces challenges, particularly at the high school level.

Lincoln Elementary stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, especially in 5th and 6th grades, as well as strong performance in Social Studies and Science for 4th graders. The school also has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.4%. In contrast, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School shows solid graduation and low dropout rates, but lags behind the state averages in some areas, such as 7th and 8th grade Mathematics. However, the high school performs competitively on ACT assessments, with 50% proficiency in English Language Arts, 39.47% in Mathematics, and 47.37% in Science for 10th graders.

The Alma Center School District as a whole is ranked 310 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating. Both Lincoln Elementary and Lincoln Junior/Senior High School have a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 57.58% and 57.98%, respectively. The district spends more per student at the high school level compared to the elementary level, which may contribute to the stronger performance observed at the high school. Overall, the district appears to have some strengths, particularly at the elementary school level, but also faces challenges in certain areas of academic performance, especially at the junior/senior high school level.
