Thorp School District

The Thorp School District in Wisconsin consists of two schools: Thorp Elementary serving grades PK-8 and Thorp High serving grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 300th out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Thorp Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 209th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 580th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. The school has relatively low proficiency rates compared to the state average, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, Thorp High has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 178th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 380th out of 431 in 2024-2025. Thorp High has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Science.

Both Thorp Elementary and Thorp High have relatively low dropout rates but high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, there is a significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school, which may indicate a need for a more equitable distribution of resources within the district.
