Cashton School District

The Cashton School District in Wisconsin consists of two schools: Cashton Middle/High and Cashton Elementary. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.

Cashton Middle/High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.6% and low dropout rate of 0.3% for the 2022-2023 school year. The school also performs strongly in 7th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 66.67% and 71.43%, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Cashton Elementary School excels in Mathematics across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, with proficiency rates ranging from 60.98% to 72.73% in the 2023-2024 school year, as well as in 4th grade Social Studies and Science, with 66.67% proficiency rates in both subjects.

While both schools have relatively low statewide rankings, the Cashton School District appears to be making efforts to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population. The higher spending per student at Cashton Elementary School compared to Cashton Middle/High School may indicate a focus on early childhood education and intervention. Overall, the district has some areas of strength, but also faces challenges in improving student outcomes across all grade levels and subjects.
