Summary:
The city of Winter, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Winter Elementary, Winter High, and Winter Middle. These schools are part of the Winter School District and serve a community with high rates of economic disadvantage.
Among the three schools, Winter High stands out as the top performer, ranking 211 out of 415 Wisconsin high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Winter Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, indicating challenges in academic performance. Meanwhile, Winter Middle has shown some bright spots, with strong performance on state assessments in social studies and science.
Across the district, high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 65.38% at Winter High to 84.09% at Winter Middle, suggest significant economic challenges faced by the student populations. Additionally, all three schools grapple with high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be a contributing factor to the disparities in academic performance observed within the district.
