Summary:
The city of Brodhead, Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Brodhead High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been consistently below average, ranking in the bottom third of Wisconsin high schools over the past few years with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Brodhead High School's academic struggles are evident in its lower-than-average proficiency rates on standardized tests like the Forward Exam and ACT. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in social studies was 35.06%, compared to the state average of 47.67%. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% is slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.3% is lower than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as a relatively high percentage of its students (36.96%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $14,328, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be investing resources in providing a supportive learning environment, but further improvements are needed to address the academic performance gaps and better serve the needs of its student population.
