Summary:
The Independence School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Independence Elementary. This small school serves a student population of 193, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 79.27%, significantly higher than the state average.
Independence Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three school years, with a ranking between 804 and 881 out of 1,061-1,067 schools. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 30-40% compared to the state averages of 52-56%. The school's performance has also declined over the past two school years.
Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending at $14,468 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1, indicating small class sizes. However, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students at Independence Elementary, suggesting that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
