Our Vision
Small Class sizes are a top priority
The School District of La Crosse is the only district of our size that has maintained SAGE classrooms in kindergarten through 3rd grade. The SAGE (Student Achievement Guarantee in Education) program provides funding to help maintain lower class size in the early grades. The average elementary school class has 18 children; while the average middle school class has 26 students and our high school classes average 25 to 30 students.
