High Schools in McFarland School District

The McFarland School District in Wisconsin is home to 4 high schools serving grades 9-12. Based on the available data, McFarland High stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 33rd out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McFarland High boasts significantly higher test scores across subjects compared to the district and state averages, as well as a 91% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. The school also has a relatively low 16.76% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a more affluent student population. In contrast, the district's virtual charter schools, Wisconsin Virtual Academy High (WIVA) and Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin High, appear to be the weaker performers, with significantly lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and higher percentages of students on free/reduced lunch.

Despite the differences in performance, all 4 high schools in the McFarland School District have similar 4-year graduation rates and low dropout rates. However, the district as a whole faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7% across the schools. The data suggests that school characteristics, such as spending per student and student-teacher ratios, may play a role in the academic performance of these high schools.
