Summary:
The Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District in Wisconsin operates 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual charter school. The district serves students from preschool through 12th grade and is known for its strong academic performance, particularly at the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary and Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High School.
Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 102 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, while also performing well on standardized tests, with 55.93% of 10th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary is also a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools and outperforming district and state averages in several subject areas on the Forward Exam.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a wide range in spending per student, from $7,957 at the Link2Learn Virtual Charter School to $16,705 at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High School, raising questions about equitable resource allocation. The high student-teacher ratio of 233.3 at the virtual charter school also suggests potential challenges in providing personalized attention and support to students in a virtual learning environment.
