High Schools in Bayfield School District

Summary:

The Bayfield School District in Wisconsin contains a single high school, Bayfield High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a slightly above-average graduation rate, it struggles in several key areas compared to other Wisconsin high schools.

Bayfield High has a low statewide ranking, fluctuating between 314 and 346 out of 400-431 high schools, and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with only around 40% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in core subjects. Additionally, Bayfield High has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, significantly above the state average.

Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive attributes, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $25,006. However, the high percentage of students (57.02%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may present unique challenges and resource needs.
