Summary:
The Pecatonica Area School District has one elementary school, Pecatonica Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 184 students. Pecatonica Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 17% of Wisconsin elementary schools and outperforming the state average on standardized assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies.
The school's performance is bolstered by a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, indicating ample individual attention for students. Additionally, Pecatonica Elementary has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6%, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 34.78% suggests a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which may require close monitoring to ensure equitable support and achievement for all students.
While Pecatonica Elementary's overall performance is commendable, the district may want to explore ways to further drive improvement in areas where the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average, such as 4th grade ELA and Mathematics. By continuing to invest in resources and support for the school, the Pecatonica Area School District can build on Pecatonica Elementary's strong foundation and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
