Summary:

The Shawano School District in Wisconsin operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools, Shawano High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, though it performs slightly below the state average on standardized test scores. In contrast, Brener Elementary School struggles, with significantly below-average standardized test scores and a high student-teacher ratio of 15.6. The district as a whole is ranked 352 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, with generally below-average performance on standardized tests across all grades and subjects.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools within the Shawano School District, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism suggesting challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools may indicate differences in resource allocation, and the low academic performance of some schools, particularly in the elementary grades, points to a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
