High Schools in Ladysmith School District

The Ladysmith School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Ladysmith High, serving grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 239 to 339 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average at 91.0%, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state.

Ladysmith High's academic performance is an area of concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.51% in Mathematics to 45.9% in English Language Arts, all below the state averages. The school's SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars indicates below-average performance compared to other schools in Wisconsin. Additionally, the school district's overall ranking is 348 out of 426 districts in the state, suggesting the district as a whole is performing below average.

One potential factor contributing to the school's challenges may be the high percentage of students (49.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable learning environment, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and academic underperformance indicate that more support may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population.
