Summary:
The Darlington Community School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Darlington Elementary/Middle, which serves grades PK-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 380 out of 1,067 schools in 2021-2022 to 629 out of 1,067 schools in 2022-2023.
Darlington Elementary/Middle's academic outcomes on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, have been mixed. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in higher grade levels. However, the school has relatively low dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, indicating positive aspects of the school environment.
The school serves a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, as indicated by the low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This factor may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces, and suggests opportunities for targeted support and interventions to improve student learning and achievement, particularly in the lower grade levels where the school's performance lags behind state benchmarks.
