Summary:
Amery School District in Wisconsin serves roughly 1,252 students across four schools: Lien Elementary (PK–2), Amery Intermediate (grades 3–5), Amery Middle (6–8), and Amery High (9–12). The district ranks 57 of 432 in the state, placing it in the 87th percentile with 4 stars, and its 99.1% graduation rate and 0.1% dropout rate are well ahead of the state's 92.0% and 1.1%.
Amery Middle is the academic standout, ranked 45 of 643 statewide — the 93rd percentile with 5 stars — with every reported test score above state average, including 8th grade math at 86.52% versus 53.67% statewide. Amery High is the biggest turnaround, rising from 2 stars and the 44th percentile to 4 stars and the 80th percentile, with ACT math and science moving from below state to above state. Lien Elementary posts the highest single math proficiency in the district (87.5%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.9%), while Amery Intermediate improved steadily to the 77th percentile with 4 stars.
Two watch points stand out. Amery High has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 15.1% — still below the state's 17.3%, but well above the other three schools (5.9% to 7.3%). Amery Intermediate's 5th grade ELA score of 52.87% is the district's only current result below the state average of 53.63%. Notably, spending and staffing vary widely without tracking outcomes: Amery High spends the least per student ($15,597) and has the largest student–teacher ratio (13.2), yet still reports very strong graduation results.
