Port Edwards School District

The Port Edwards School District in Wisconsin consists of three schools: Port Edwards Educational Heuer Elementary School, John Edwards High, and John Edwards Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is ranked 311 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the three schools, John Edwards High stands out as the top performer, ranking 79 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 91.0% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, along with strong test scores in subjects like social studies, English, math, and science. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle to match the state averages in many academic areas, suggesting room for improvement in the lower grade levels.

The schools in the Port Edwards School District serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 49.66% to 56.86%. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed across the district. Additionally, the data shows some inconsistency in school rankings and test scores over the past few years, indicating the need for further investigation to understand the underlying causes and address the district's areas for improvement.
