Summary:
The Baraboo School District has only one high school, Baraboo High, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently performed below average compared to other high schools in Wisconsin, ranking in the bottom quarter of schools statewide for the past three years.
Baraboo High's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests falling below both state and district averages in all subjects. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% is slightly lower than the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state norm. These factors suggest that the school may face challenges in engaging and supporting its student population, which includes a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the school district's spending per student is slightly higher than the state average, indicating that resources may be available to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the school's performance issues. By focusing on areas such as attendance, academic support, and student engagement, the Baraboo School District may be able to improve outcomes for the students at Baraboo High.
