Wonewoc-Center Elementary

Summary:

Wonewoc-Center Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Wonewoc, Wisconsin, with 149 students enrolled. The school is part of the Wonewoc-Union Center School District, which is ranked 306 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wonewoc-Center Elementary has been ranked between 327 and 676 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools in the past 10 years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle to lower range compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's test scores in core subjects are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but there are some grade levels where student performance is struggling to keep up. Attendance is also a concern, with a significant increase in chronic absenteeism from 1.6% in 2019-2020 to 7.9% in 2021-2022, which is higher than nearby schools like New Lisbon Elementary and Weston Elementary.

The school serves a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 53.96% to 62.73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools. However, the school has also seen an increase in spending per student, from $12,610 in 2019-2020 to $15,661 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the nearby schools. Overall, Wonewoc-Center Elementary appears to be a middle-performing school that is facing some challenges, and the district may need to implement more targeted interventions and support to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
