Summary:
The Oconto Unified School District in Wisconsin is home to two high schools: Oconto High and Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy. While both schools share similar graduation and dropout rates, they exhibit distinct differences in their performance metrics, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Oconto High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 186th out of 431 schools in 2023-2024 to 302nd out of 415 schools in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, except in mathematics. Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy, on the other hand, is a smaller school with a much higher free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
The most notable difference between the two schools is the spending per student. Oconto High spends $15,320 per student, significantly higher than the $4,992 spent per student at Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy. This disparity in resources may contribute to the differences in student-teacher ratios, with Oconto High having a lower ratio of 13.2 compared to 16.6 at Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy.
