Summary:
The Elkhorn Area School District in Wisconsin has one middle school, Elkhorn Area Middle, serving grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in Mathematics and Social Studies, it also faces challenges in English Language Arts proficiency and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate.
Elkhorn Area Middle's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the 7th and 8th grades. However, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school stands out with a significantly higher proficiency rate in 8th grade Social Studies compared to the district and state averages.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 1.9% is relatively high, suggesting a potential area for improvement. While the school's spending per student of $12,181 is higher than the national average, it's unclear how this spending is being allocated and how it impacts student outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.2 is within the typical range for middle schools, but it's worth considering how this ratio may affect the quality of instruction and student support.
