High Schools in Waterloo School District

Summary:

The Waterloo School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Waterloo High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 367 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Waterloo High has a 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a 1.3% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Waterloo High has a relatively high percentage of students (43.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively disadvantaged student population.

While Waterloo High's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $12,864, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 14.4 for the 2023-2024 school year, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic performance. The school's declining ranking and lower test scores suggest that it may be underperforming compared to other high schools in Wisconsin, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these challenges.
