Summary:
The Marathon City School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Marathon Elementary, Marathon High, and Marathon Venture Academy. The district as a whole is ranked 155th out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Marathon High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a 4-star rating, impressive 91% four-year graduation rate, and strong test scores that often exceed state and district averages. In contrast, Marathon Venture Academy, a public charter middle school, also performs well, with a 4-star rating and standout performance in 7th-grade math.
While the schools generally perform at or above the state average in core subjects, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, suggesting attendance and engagement may be an area for improvement. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student, from $3,937 at Marathon Venture Academy to $17,476 at Marathon High, raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
