Schools in Chetek, WI

Chetek, Wisconsin has four schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all within the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District, with 924 students enrolled in total. Three are traditional schools: Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary (PK–5, 429 students), Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle (6–8, 204 students), and Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High (9–12, 254 students). The fourth, Link2Learn Virtual Charter School, is an alternative PK–12 virtual program with 37 students. The district overall is ranked 315 of 432 in Wisconsin, 27th percentile, 1 star, while each of the three ranked schools earned 2 stars at the school level in 2025–2026.

Ratings differ noticeably by building. Roselawn Elementary is the largest school and slipped from 3 stars to 2 stars, though its 4th graders score above state in English language arts, social studies and science; math is a weakness in grades 3, 4 and 5. The middle school is the steadiest performer, holding 2 stars for three years, with standout 6th grade math at 66.67% versus 53.60% statewide, but weak 8th grade results in every subject. The high school has the most dramatic swing, falling from 4 stars and the 76th percentile to 2 stars and the 36th percentile, with all four tested areas now below state after all four were above state the prior year.

Attendance and outcomes vary too. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the high school (29.6%) and Roselawn (23.0%), compared with 22.8% districtwide and 17.3% statewide; the middle school is 18.6% and Link2Learn reports 0.0%. Despite weaker test scores, the high school posts a 96.6% graduation rate and 0.8% dropout rate, both better than state averages, while Link2Learn's graduation rate is 87.5%. Link2Learn has no test score or rank history in this data, so its academics cannot be compared. The main watch item is the high school's academic decline and high absenteeism.
