Summary:
The city of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Wisconsin Dells High School, which serves 577 students in grades 9-12. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 17:1 and over half of its students (51.3%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Academically, Wisconsin Dells High School ranks 293 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% is slightly higher than the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.3% is lower. However, student proficiency rates in core subjects like math (34.78%) and science (36.96%) lag behind the state averages. The school also faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Wisconsin Dells High School is doing a relatively good job of keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. Addressing the root causes of the lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism could be key focus areas for the school and the Wisconsin Dells School District to improve student outcomes and better support the community's educational needs.
