Lemonweir Academy's test scores are mixed, performing above the Mauston School District in some areas but lagging behind in others, particularly in 7th and 8th grade math and English language arts.

With 48.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Lemonweir Academy has a higher rate than Mauston High (40.68%) and Wisconsin Dells High (48.26%), but lower than iLEAD Charter School (67.89%). The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.5, compared to the other schools in the area, which range from 10.3 at New Lisbon Junior High/High to 18.2 at Wisconsin Dells High. Overall, Lemonweir Academy appears to be a small, high-needs school within the Mauston School District that is facing some challenges, but its low dropout rate is a notable strength.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
