Cuba City Elementary

Summary:

Cuba City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 260 students in grades PK-5 in Cuba City, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Cuba City School District, which is ranked 139 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cuba City Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade students achieved 60% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.07%, and 80% proficiency in math, significantly higher than the state's 56.58%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 231 out of 1,050 schools in 2020-2021 to 586 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 2.

While Cuba City Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, the school's rankings for various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, have also declined in recent years. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 2.8% in 2020-2021 to 7.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 10.7 in 2022-2023, compared to nearby schools like Darlington Elementary/Middle (14.2) and Westview Elementary (14.0), could be a strength, potentially providing more individualized attention and support for students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
