High Schools in Wauzeka-Steuben School District

Summary:

The Wauzeka-Steuben School District has only one high school, Wauzeka High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 72 students. The district is ranked 235 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Wauzeka High has seen a concerning decline in its performance, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages, indicating that students are struggling academically compared to their peers across Wisconsin. Additionally, the school serves a population with high socioeconomic needs, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the data suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated to improve academic outcomes. The school's leadership and the Wauzeka-Steuben School District will need to closely examine these issues and implement targeted strategies to address the school's challenges and improve student performance.
