Siren School District

Siren School District is a small Wisconsin district serving about 365 students across two schools that together cover grades PK through 12: Siren High (grades 6–12, enrollment 193) and Siren Elementary (grades PK–5, enrollment 172). The district summary ranks it 407 out of 432, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars, and both schools show 1 star in 2025–2026 rank history. Families should know that this is a district with generally low overall achievement rankings alongside some real bright spots.

Comparing the two schools, Siren High has the stronger recent momentum: its rank percentile rose from 5 to 25 and stars from 0 to 1, though its actual rank barely moved (409 of 431 to 402 of 533), so the larger comparison pool partly explains the percentile jump. Its graduation rate of 94.2% beats the state's 92.0%, but dropout is 2.4% versus the state's 1.1% and chronic absenteeism is 29.2% versus 17.3%. Siren Elementary is the opposite profile: better attendance (15.5% chronic absenteeism, below the state's 17.3%), smaller classes (student-teacher ratio 8.5 vs 11.4), but a declining rank percentile (20 to 17 to 13) and lower proficiency overall, with math especially weak.

Test results are the biggest concern. Across both schools and two years, only 1 of 38 listed test comparisons was above the state average — Siren Elementary's 5th Grade Math in 2024–2025 — and in 2025–2026, 0 of 20 tests were at or above state. Bright spots exist: Siren High improved sharply in 8th Grade Social Studies, 8th Grade Science, 10th Grade Social Studies, and ACT Math, while Siren Elementary gained in 3rd–5th Grade ELA. Both schools spend over $20,000 per student. Because grade-level cohorts are small, year-to-year changes can be volatile and should be read cautiously.
