Best Public Schools in Maple, WI

Summary:

The city of Maple, Wisconsin has one public high school, Northwestern High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school is part of the Maple School District, which is ranked 141 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northwestern High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from 123rd out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 to 280th out of 415 in 2022-2023, and then back up to 176th out of 431 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores show a mixed picture, with strengths in social studies and mathematics but weaknesses in English language arts and science compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is a concern and may be contributing to the inconsistencies in academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Northwestern High has some positive metrics, including a 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a 1.3% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages. The school also spends $13,150 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1. With over 30% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance and identifying ways to support student success.
