Summary:
High schools in the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District come down to a single campus: Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High, serving grades 9–12 with 254 students at 1001 Knapp St in Chetek, Wisconsin. Because there is only one high school, district-level high school figures essentially describe this one school. At the district level, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District is ranked 315th of 432 in Wisconsin — the 27th percentile — with a 1-star rating.
Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High's strongest numbers are in completion and staffing. Its graduation rate was 96.6% in 2024–2025, above the district's 94.8% and the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate of 0.8% was below the state's 1.1%, though slightly above the district's 0.4%. Class sizes appear relatively small, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, and per-student spending is $21,875. About 36.61% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. No state averages are provided for spending or staffing, so those figures cannot be definitively labeled high or low.
Those strengths sit alongside clear warning signs. Chronic absenteeism was 29.6% in 2024–2025 — well above the district's 22.8% and the state's 17.3%. Test proficiency then fell sharply: in 2024–2025 the school was at or above the state in Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, but in 2025–2026 it was below the state in all four, dropping 16.36 points in Social Studies, 9.38 in English Language Arts, 18.12 in Mathematics, and 4.38 in Science, while state scores stayed relatively stable. The school's ranking slid from 102nd of 431 schools with 4 stars in 2023–2024, to 174th of 431 with 3 stars in 2024–2025, to 342nd of 533 with 2 stars in 2025–2026 — a decline that tracks the academic results.
