Summary:
The Spooner Area School District has only one elementary school, Spooner Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 375 students.
Spooner Elementary's performance has been mixed in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 553 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2023-2024 and 809 out of 1,067 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam have been above the state average in some subject areas and grade levels, but below the state average in others. Notably, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 57.33% in 2022-2023, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 15.2% in the same year, which are potential areas of concern.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,193 in 2020-2021 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 in 2022-2023, its academic performance appears to be below the state average in many areas. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be influencing the school's outcomes, and further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes and develop strategies for improvement.
