Summary:
The New Lisbon School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, New Lisbon Junior High/High, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 336 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2024-2025 to 389 out of 415 in 2022-2023.
Academically, New Lisbon Junior High/High struggles, with proficiency rates on standardized tests in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science ranging from 20% to 50%, well below the state averages of around 50% or higher. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% is also slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,738, which is above the state average, the academic performance remains a concern. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as nearly half (49.17%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's small student-teacher ratio of 10.7 suggests a relatively small class size, the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
