Summary:
The Washburn School District in Wisconsin serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: Washburn Elementary, Washburn High, and Washburn Middle. The district is ranked 129 out of 426 in Wisconsin and has an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Washburn Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with students consistently scoring well above the state average on the Forward Exam in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school and middle school. In contrast, Washburn High impresses with its 91% four-year graduation rate and low 1.3% dropout rate, indicating strong support for student success.
Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates of around 17.7% at all three schools and the significant population of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 40% at each school). The district may need to investigate these challenges and provide additional support and resources to address any socioeconomic factors impacting student performance. Additionally, the variation in spending per student across the schools suggests the district could benefit from reviewing its funding allocation to ensure equitable distribution of resources.
