Summary:
The city of Greenwood, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Greenwood Elementary and Greenwood High, both part of the Greenwood School District. While Greenwood Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, Greenwood High has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools, however, face challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates.
Greenwood Elementary has an enrollment of 195 students and has seen its statewide ranking drop from 410th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 664th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, reflecting its 2-star rating. In contrast, Greenwood High, with 155 students, has maintained its 2-star rating and ranking between 228th and 295th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools over the past few years. Both schools generally perform below the state averages on standardized assessments, with some exceptions, such as Greenwood High's strong performance in 7th-grade math.
Financially, Greenwood Elementary spends $16,999 per student, while Greenwood High spends $18,085 per student. The higher spending at the high school level may indicate a focus on secondary education, but it's unclear if this additional spending is translating into better outcomes for students. The schools also differ in their free and reduced lunch rates, with Greenwood Elementary having a higher percentage of 47.69% compared to Greenwood High's 38.71%. This suggests a greater need for additional support and resources at the elementary level to address socioeconomic factors that can impact student learning.
