Summary:
Siren, Wisconsin is a small northern Wisconsin city with two public schools serving 365 students combined: Siren High (grades 6–12, 193 students) and Siren Elementary (grades PK–5, 172 students), both in the Siren School District. There is no separate middle school, so the high school covers grades 6 through 12.
Both schools rank near the bottom of Wisconsin's schools. Siren High ranks 402 of 533 (25th percentile, 1 star), up from the 5th percentile and 0 stars the year before. Siren Elementary ranks 906 of 1039 (13th percentile, 1 star), declining from the 20th percentile three years ago. The Siren School District ranks 407 of 432, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. Attendance contrasts sharply: chronic absenteeism is 29.2% at the high school, 11.9 points above the state's 17.3%, but 15.5% at the elementary school — below both the district (23.2%) and the state. The high school's graduation rate, 94.2%, is above the state's 92.0%, though its dropout rate of 2.4% is more than double the state's 1.1%.
Test proficiency falls below state almost everywhere. The only exception in either year was Siren Elementary 5th grade math in 2024–25, at 52.94% versus 52.58% statewide; in 2025–26 nothing exceeded state. Siren High came closest in social studies and science, such as 10th grade social studies at 45.45% against 48.25%. Elementary results show the widest gaps: math averaged about 24.2% versus 53.1%, and 4th grade science 25.0% versus 53.5%. The elementary school also has more poverty (61.63% free/reduced lunch vs 49.74%), spends more per student ($21,632 vs $20,847), and has a smaller student-teacher ratio (8.5 vs 11.4), yet its proficiency is lower.
