Summary

Blair-Taylor Middle/High is a public school serving 308 students in grades 6-12 in the Blair-Taylor School District in Blair, Wisconsin. The school is ranked 355 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the district as a whole is ranked 378 out of 426 districts in the state.

Blair-Taylor Middle/High has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91-100% in recent years, which is on par with or slightly higher than nearby schools like Lincoln Junior/Senior High, Melrose-Mindoro Junior/Senior High, and Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High. However, the school has struggled with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates of 13-19.5% and lower-than-state-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts (8-64% proficient) and Mathematics (10-60% proficient).

While Blair-Taylor Middle/High's performance is generally below the state average, it is not significantly different from the nearby schools in the region. The school's challenges, such as declining statewide rankings and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (44-46%), are not unique to this school. Addressing factors like chronic absenteeism and providing targeted academic interventions may be key areas for the school to focus on in order to improve student outcomes.
