High Schools in Kaukauna Area School District

Summary:

The Kaukauna Area School District in Wisconsin is home to one high school, Kaukauna High, which serves grades 9-12. Kaukauna High is a relatively large high school with 1,260 students and has maintained a strong performance, ranking in the top 30% of Wisconsin high schools.

Kaukauna High's 91% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year exceeds the state average, and the school's proficiency rates on the ACT and Forward Exam in core subjects like English, Math, and Science are generally at or above the district and state averages. The school's 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years indicates above-average performance, and its per-student spending of $12,170 for the 2020-2021 school year is in line with state averages.

While Kaukauna High's overall performance is commendable, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions. However, the school's balanced approach, with strong performance across multiple academic subjects, suggests that it is providing a quality education to its students.
