Summary:
The Ithaca School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Ithaca High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some strengths and areas for improvement.
Ithaca High has a statewide school rank that has fluctuated between 249 and 282 out of 415-431 Wisconsin high schools over the past three school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 91.0%, slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average. Academically, the school has shown mixed results, outperforming the state average in some subjects but underperforming in others, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data also reveals that 39.84% of Ithaca High students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $14,284, higher than the state average, suggesting the district is allocating significant resources to the school. However, the mixed academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to maximize their impact on student outcomes.
