Summary:
The Richland School District in Wisconsin has two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade: Richland Center Primary School and Richland Center Intermediate School. While the schools have similar performance metrics, they face some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges in the district.
Both schools have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Richland School District and the state of Wisconsin on the Forward Exam. However, Richland Center Intermediate School's 6th-grade students performed better in Mathematics, with 67.27% proficient or better, suggesting potential opportunities to explore and replicate this success in other grades and subjects.
The significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Richland Center Primary School spending $3,116 more per student, may indicate different resource allocation or funding priorities within the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, around 24% for both schools, are concerning and may be an area of focus for the district to improve student attendance and engagement.
