All elementary schools in the School District of Reedsburg participate in the Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) program. We strive to keep class sizes around 20 students.
Kindergarten placements are not always the same from student to student. District leaders consider a number of factors when placing four- and five-year-old students in kindergarten. For example, the district does not have 4K sections in all of our elementary schools, and the program is predominantly community based.
The criteria for assignment to a particular elementary school, in order of importance, are as follows:
- Special needs: Some of our students have special needs and require particular programming that is only available a one elementary school.
- Siblings: We try to avoid assigning siblings to different schools. However, all fourth and fifth grade students go to Pineview Elementary School, so we usually can only keep siblings together through third grade, unless a change request is made sooner, and space is available.
- Distance from school: For the remaining spots, we start with families who live closest to a building and work outward until all of the spots are filled. Note that we try to keep families who live in the city of Reedsburg in the city of Reedsburg, but this is not always possible. Two of our elementary schools are outside of Reedsburg, and we need to utilize the classroom space at these locations.
