Summary:

The Northland Pines School District in Wisconsin operates 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 232 out of 426 school districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. The Northland Pines Montessori Learning Center (NPMLC) is a public charter elementary school that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The Northland Pines High school also performs well, ranking in the top 100 high schools in the state and earning 4 out of 5 stars. In contrast, the performance of the School of Options and Applied Research High and School of Options and Applied Research Middle schools, which are public charter schools, is more mixed.

The district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a wide range in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation and student needs within the district. Addressing these issues could be a priority for the Northland Pines School District as it works to improve the overall performance of its schools.
