Rib Lake School District

The Rib Lake School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Rib Lake Elementary, Rib Lake High, and Rib Lake Middle. The district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Rib Lake Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 60 elementary schools in Wisconsin and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly above the state averages, with 3rd-5th grade students scoring 20-30 percentage points higher than the Wisconsin average. However, the school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%.

In contrast, Rib Lake Middle has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years. Meanwhile, Rib Lake High maintains a strong 91% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. Across the district, student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 11.1 to 12.4 students per teacher.
