Original Research by School Decision on Eagles Academy
Eagles Academy is a charter school within the Solon Springs School District, serving students from sixth through twelfth grade. It is a regular public school, not a special-purpose or alternative setting, but its enrollment is very small. The student body is overwhelmingly white, with a small number of Black students represented. About a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic need. The school's grade-level enrollment is uneven, with the largest groups in seventh and eighth grades, and no seniors reported for the most recent term.
Solon Springs is an entirely rural village in Douglas County, Wisconsin, surrounded by lakes and forested recreation land. Its history is rooted in the lumber industry and mineral springs, and today it remains a quiet residential community with limited commercial activity. The built environment is low-density, and there is no traditional walkable downtown. Residents often commute to the Duluth/Superior area about a half-hour drive away for employment. Housing values in the area have risen in recent years, though the village remains affordable relative to some parts of the state. Civic anchors include Lucius Woods County Park, Upper St. Croix Lake, the North Country Trail, and a small municipal airport. The village has experienced modest population growth, but no major new housing developments or commercial projects were identified in available records. The school campus is likely a single facility serving the entire community.
State testing data for Eagles Academy is thin. For the most recent school year, only seventh-grade results were reported by the state; results for sixth and eighth grades were suppressed due to very small numbers. In seventh-grade math, a majority of tested students scored proficient or above. In seventh-grade English language arts, less than half met that benchmark. Science and social studies results for eighth grade were also suppressed. Because only one grade level produced usable data, the overall picture of academic performance is incomplete. When compared to other districts in Douglas County, Eagles Academy's proficiency index lands in the bottom quartile, but that comparison rests on very limited information and should be interpreted cautiously. A parent wanting a fuller understanding of the school's academic trajectory would need to ask the school directly for its own internal assessments and high school outcomes.
No graduation rate is available, which is unsurprising given that the school had no twelfth-grade enrollment in the reporting period. Chronic absenteeism data was also not reported. Information on staffing, course access, discipline, and special education or English learner populations was missing from the available records. These gaps are common in very small schools where data is suppressed to protect student privacy, but they do mean that families considering Eagles Academy will need to rely on direct conversations with the school to learn about support structures, advanced coursework, and postsecondary preparation.
The district itself, Solon Springs School District, was searched for recent changes that would matter to a parent such as referendums, budget shifts, or curriculum overhauls, but none were found. The school's charter status means it operates with some flexibility from the district, but no detailed information about its charter mission, instructional approach, or accountability was available in the data provided.
Eagles Academy offers a setting that may appeal to families seeking a very small, rural charter school within a close-knit community. The academic picture is only partially visible from state data, and the school's size means that much of what a parent would want to know about student progress, safety, and college readiness is best learned by visiting and talking with staff.
