Summary:

The Cornell School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Cornell High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data analysis suggests that Cornell High School is facing some challenges, including declining performance, mixed academic achievement, and high levels of poverty and chronic absenteeism.

Cornell High School is ranked 289 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average at 91.0%, but its dropout rate of 1.3% is relatively low. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's overall performance and academic achievement.

Academically, Cornell High School's performance is mixed. While the school performed better than the state average in some areas, such as 10th-grade Forward Exam/Social Studies in 2023-2024, it underperformed the state average in other areas, such as 10th-grade ACT/English Language Arts and ACT/Science in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 56.73% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $16,805, which is higher than the state average, indicating the need for additional resources and support to address the challenges facing the school.
