Summary:
The Bruce School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Bruce High, which serves 120 students. While the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, it has shown strengths in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, but lags behind in Social Studies and Science proficiency.
Bruce High's four-year graduation rate was 91.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, with a dropout rate of 1.3%. However, the school had a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%. In terms of test scores, Bruce High's proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year were above the state average in English Language Arts (56% vs. 48.62%) and Mathematics (56% vs. 42.73%), but below the state average in Social Studies (43.48% vs. 47.67%) and Science (48% vs. 43.42%).
With nearly half of its students (47.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Bruce High likely serves a relatively economically disadvantaged community. The school's per-student spending of $14,206 in the 2020-2021 school year suggests that resources may not be the primary driver of its performance, and other factors, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student engagement, could be more influential. As a small high school with only 120 students, Bruce High may face both advantages and challenges in terms of personalized attention, extracurricular opportunities, and overall school culture.
