Despite having a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the district, Central Oaks Academy has consistently underperformed the Wisconsin Rapids School District and the state of Wisconsin in standardized test scores across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 33.33% compared to the district's 53.82% and the state's 52.07%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.33% to 75% across grade levels, compared to the district's 50.37% to 59.75% and the state's 53.29% to 56.58%. Central Oaks Academy's performance on social studies and science assessments is also below the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Wisconsin Rapids School District, Central Oaks Academy consistently ranks lower in terms of statewide school rankings and performance on standardized tests. The nearby THINK Academy-Together Helping INspire Kids, which is also part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District, outperforms Central Oaks Academy across multiple metrics, including test scores, student-teacher ratios, and chronic absenteeism rates. As a virtual charter school, Central Oaks Academy may face unique challenges in providing a high-quality educational experience for its students, as evidenced by its high student-teacher ratios, fluctuating dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism issues.

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.
