Summary:
The Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District in northwestern Wisconsin serves 924 students across four schools — one PK–5 elementary, one 6–8 middle school, one 9–12 high school, and one PK–12 virtual charter school — and is rated 315th of 432 districts in the state, at the 27th percentile with 1 star. All four schools carry that district-level rating, though their individual metrics vary widely.
A few schools stand out. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High has the strongest graduation rate at 96.6% and a low 0.8% dropout rate, but its rank slid from 76th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–24 to 60th percentile with 3 stars and then 36th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, and it has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 29.6%. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary is the largest school at 429 students, has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 44.99%, and fell from 59th percentile with 3 stars to 46th percentile with 2 stars. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle is the steadiest, holding at 48th, 48th, and 43rd percentile, all with 2 stars, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism among brick-and-mortar schools at 18.6%. Link2Learn Virtual Charter School has just 37 students, 0.0% chronic absenteeism and 0.0% dropout, the lowest per-student spending at $11,931, and an 87.5% graduation rate, but no rank or test-score data.
Across the district, test performance slipped in 2025–26: Roselawn and the middle school moved from near or above state averages in 2024–25 to below state, while the high school dropped from above state to well below in all four tested areas, with ACT math falling from 49.15% to 31.03%. Roselawn's 5th-grade math fell from 71.88% to 41.18%, and the middle school's 8th grade declined sharply in ELA, math, science, and social studies. The high school spends the most per student at $21,875 yet posts the weakest 2025–26 results, while Link2Learn's figures should be read cautiously given its small size and virtual model.
