Compared to the nearby Otis-Bison Junior/Senior High School, La Crosse High has a higher student-teacher ratio (11.7 vs. 7.5) and lower per-student spending ($12,906 vs. $14,741). The virtual Otis Bison Academy, also in the Otis-Bison district, has significantly lower academic performance than both La Crosse High and Otis-Bison Junior/Senior High School. Addressing the root causes of La Crosse High's fluctuating performance, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its significant population of low socioeconomic status students could be key focus areas for improvement.
