Summary:
The Cumberland School District in Wisconsin consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district faces some consistent challenges, as evidenced by its low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and the generally below-average academic performance of its schools compared to the state.
Cumberland High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, ranking 211 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The high school maintains a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, while also performing above the district and state averages in several subject areas on the ACT and Forward Exams. In contrast, Cumberland Elementary School is ranked 625 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating, but demonstrates relatively strong academic performance with 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at or above the district and state averages.
Across the Cumberland School District, the schools face challenges such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the district's performance is generally below the state averages, the data highlights areas where the district could focus its efforts to drive improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism, increasing academic proficiency in certain subject areas, and exploring ways to better support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
