Summary:
The Lakeland Union High School School District in Minocqua, Wisconsin is made up of two schools that both serve grades 9–12: Lakeland High, with 696 students, and Lakeland STAR Academy (LSA), with just 21 students. Together they enroll 717 students, and Lakeland High accounts for about 97.1% of that total, so district-wide numbers largely reflect the larger school. The district carries a rating of 247th of 432, or the 43rd percentile with 2 stars.
Lakeland High is the data-rich school. Its graduation rate is 95.9%, above the district's 95.4% and the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate of 0.8% is below the state's 1.1%. Its school rank improved from 277th of 431 (36th percentile, 2 stars) to 261st of 533 (51st percentile, 3 stars). Test scores are mixed: Social Studies and Mathematics were above the state in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, Science was below the state both years, and English Language Arts fell 6.30 percentage points year over year, landing 6.16 points below the state.
Lakeland STAR Academy is tiny and resource-intensive: a 3.6 student-teacher ratio versus 14.7 at Lakeland High, $62,160 per-student spending versus $20,858, and a 71.43% free/reduced lunch rate versus 42.96%. Its dropout rate was 0.0%, but no current test scores, rank history, or current school-level graduation rate are available; the only graduation figure is 50.0% in 2021–2022, which is historical and not comparable to current numbers. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest shared concern, at 27.8% for both schools, the same as the district and 10.5 points above the state's 17.3%.
