Flambeau Elementary

Summary:

Flambeau Elementary is a public elementary school located in Tony, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 214 students. The school is part of the Flambeau School District, which is ranked 379 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Flambeau Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a ranking between 605 and 899 out of over 1,000 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 18.42% (5th grade) to 42.86% (4th grade), compared to the state average of 52.07% to 53.75%. Flambeau Elementary also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.0% in 2020-2021 to 29.3% in 2021-2022, which is still higher than the state average.

The nearby Holcombe Elementary and Bruce Elementary also perform below the state average on academic measures, with similar demographic characteristics and challenges. While Holcombe Elementary has a slightly higher ranking than Flambeau Elementary, and Bruce Elementary performs better on some academic measures, these schools still struggle to meet state averages. The high per-student spending at Flambeau Elementary, $15,897 in the 2020-2021 school year, suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
