Summary:
Lena School District has just one high school, Lena High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 124 students. Because it is the district's only high school, its test scores and graduation rate are also the district's high-school figures. Among the data available are school and district rank history, graduation and dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, 10th-grade test scores, free/reduced-price lunch participation (29.03%), per-student spending ($17,217), and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7. No test scores in this data set are suppressed, and none are given only as bounds or ranges, so the reported percentages are exact.
Lena High shows real upward momentum. Its school rank improved to 263 of 533 high schools in 2025–2026 — the 51st percentile with 3 stars — up from 2 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2023–2024. Graduation stands at 94.8%, above Wisconsin's 92.0%. In 2025–2026, 58.33% of 10th-graders were proficient in English Language Arts (state: 48.47%) and 50% in Science (state: 43.2%), with ELA up 13.89 points and Science up 9.26 points year over year. Chronic absenteeism of 15.4% is below the state's 17.3%.
There are also clear concerns. Mathematics proficiency fell 10.65 points, from 48.15% to 37.5%, moving from 5.42 points above the state to 5.43 points below it. Social Studies improved from 32% to 35.48% but remains 12.77 points below the state's 48.25% — the largest negative subject gap. The dropout rate of 1.6% is above both the district's 1.0% and the state's 1.1%, and the school's 15.4% chronic absenteeism is about double the district's 7.5%. With only 124 students, single-year swings should be watched over time before drawing firm conclusions.
