The schools in this area show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Maple Grove School, a public charter elementary school, standing out for its strong academic performance that exceeds district and state averages in several subjects and grade levels.

Athens High also demonstrates positive outcomes, maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. However, all schools in the Athens School District face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which is an area the district should address. The schools also vary in their student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, which may contribute to differences in the level of individual attention and resources available to students.

Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of the schools in Athens, Wisconsin, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. While Maple Grove School and Athens High stand out, the district-wide issue of chronic absenteeism is a concern that warrants further attention and intervention to ensure all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
