Summary:
The Butternut School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Butternut High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and a below-average overall rating from SchoolDigger.
Butternut High's strengths include a relatively high graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, both of which are better than the state averages. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%. Academically, the school performs better than the state average in English Language Arts, but lags behind in Mathematics, particularly in the 7th and 8th grades. The school's ACT proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are close to the state average.
Butternut High serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (57.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to the school. However, the school's mixed academic performance may indicate that these resources are not being utilized effectively or targeted to the areas of greatest need.
