Elementary Schools in Shell Lake School District


Summary:

The Shell Lake School District is home to two strong elementary schools: Shell Lake Elementary (3-6) and Shell Lake Primary (K-2). Both schools are performing well academically, with Shell Lake Elementary (3-6) consistently exceeding state proficiency averages in core subjects and steadily improving its statewide ranking and rating.

Shell Lake Elementary (3-6) stands out for its strong academic performance, with 4th-grade students achieving 82.61% proficiency in English Language Arts and 91.3% proficiency in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages. The school has also seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 484th position out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2021-2022 to the 189th position out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has improved from 3 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 4 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024.

Both schools in the Shell Lake School District have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success. However, the district may need to address potential equity concerns related to the high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, which could indicate socioeconomic challenges within the district. The difference in spending per student between the two schools may also suggest that the district is allocating resources more efficiently at the upper elementary grades.
