High Schools in Black Hawk School District

Summary:

The Black Hawk School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Black Hawk High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 112 students. The school district is ranked 275 out of 426 districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Black Hawk High's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 229 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to 393 out of 431 schools in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are well below the state averages in all subjects, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is quite high. Additionally, over 38% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning and achievement.

Despite these challenges, Black Hawk High has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support. However, the school's overall performance and declining trends suggest that the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and better support the needs of the school community.
