Summary:
The Spooner Area School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Spooner Elementary, Spooner High, and Spooner Middle. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Spooner Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 298 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in 8th-grade social studies and science, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages. In contrast, Spooner Elementary lags behind in English Language Arts and math proficiency, with 3rd and 4th-grade scores below 60%.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all schools exceeding the state average. This issue may be linked to the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at Spooner Elementary, where over 57% of students qualify. Additionally, there are disparities in spending per student, with Spooner Elementary receiving the highest funding and Spooner High the lowest. Addressing these challenges could help the district enhance educational outcomes for all students.
