Summary:
The Rhinelander School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Rhinelander High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, with a declining statewide ranking and a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rhinelander High's academic performance is mixed, with the school performing better than the state average in Social Studies but lagging behind in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, suggesting that a significant number of students are missing a substantial amount of instructional time. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (44.18%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Rhinelander High does have some strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $16,600. However, the school's overall performance and declining statewide ranking suggest that the district may need to focus on improving the academic program and addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism in order to better support the needs of all students.
