Summary:
The city of Alma Center, Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. While the school has some positive indicators, such as a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1, it also faces academic and demographic challenges that the Alma Center School District should work to address.
Lincoln Junior/Senior High School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 209th to 283rd out of 415-431 Wisconsin high schools. The school's current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests room for improvement. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests are generally below the state averages, particularly in math and science, indicating a need to focus on improving student achievement in these areas.
Additionally, the school serves a higher-need population, with over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,610 and low student-teacher ratio suggest efforts to provide additional resources, the 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate is an area of concern that the district should investigate and work to improve. Addressing these challenges could help drive long-term improvements in student outcomes at Lincoln Junior/Senior High School.
