Summary:

The Baraboo School District in Wisconsin consists of 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district faces some challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and significant disparities in academic performance between its schools.

Among the standout schools in the district is Willson Elementary, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics. Another high-performing school is North Freedom Elementary, a small, rural school with strong test scores, especially in mathematics. In contrast, schools like East Elementary and Al Behrman Elementary lag behind in academic performance.

The district's Baraboo High School maintains a relatively high 91% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator, despite its low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
