Augusta School District

The Augusta School District in Wisconsin consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a charter school). The data reveals a mix of performance across the district, with the Wildlands Charter School standing out as a high-performing institution, while the traditional public schools, Augusta Elementary and Augusta High, face challenges in areas such as test scores and chronic absenteeism.

The Wildlands Charter School is a standout performer, ranking 58th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently delivers strong academic results, with impressive test scores and a low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.5%. In contrast, the traditional public schools in the district, such as Augusta Middle, struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to their lower overall performance.

The data also reveals significant socioeconomic diversity within the district, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 19.72% at Wildlands Charter School to 61.02% at Augusta Middle School. This suggests the need for tailored approaches and additional support for schools with higher concentrations of economically disadvantaged students. Overall, the Augusta School District has room for improvement, and the high-performing Wildlands Charter School provides a model for what can be achieved with the right strategies and practices.
