Summary:
The Highland School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Highland Community Elementary, Highland Community High, and Highland Community Middle. The district as a whole is ranked 334 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Highland Community High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 196 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools. It boasts a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate, a low 1.3% dropout rate, and outperforms the state average in several key test score metrics, including 64.29% proficiency in 10th grade ACT Math. In contrast, Highland Community Elementary performs well on 3rd grade Forward Exam tests, with 66.67% proficiency in Math and 58.33% in English Language Arts, both above the state averages.
However, the data suggests that the Highland School District as a whole is underperforming, with all three schools ranking below the state average on most academic metrics. This is accompanied by high chronic absenteeism rates across the district, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance. Additionally, the schools serve a population with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.35% to 41.23%, which can present additional challenges for academic achievement.
