Shawano School District

The Shawano School District in Wisconsin serves students from 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district has a diverse student population, with significant percentages of Native American and Hispanic students, and a notable proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the high free/reduced-price lunch rates at some schools.

Shawano High School stands out with its impressive four-year graduation rate of 94.2% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, suggesting the school is effectively supporting students and helping them complete their high school education. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, indicating room for improvement in academic performance. In contrast, Hillcrest Primary School and LEADS Primary Charter School lack statewide ranking and test score data, making it difficult to fully evaluate their academic performance compared to other schools in the district and state.

The student-teacher ratios vary significantly across the schools, with Hillcrest Primary School having the lowest ratio (12.4) and LEADS Primary Charter School having the highest (40.5), suggesting different approaches to classroom instruction and resource allocation within the district. The lower academic performance across multiple schools, as evidenced by test scores below state averages, indicates that the Shawano School District may need to focus on improving educational outcomes for its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
