Summary

Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High is a small rural public high school in Chetek, Wisconsin, serving 254 students in grades 9–12 as the high school for the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District. Its state rating has swung sharply in recent years: Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High ranked 102nd of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2023–2024 (76th percentile, 4 stars), held at 174th of 431 (60th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, then fell to 342nd of 533 (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — a 40-percentile-point decline in two years. The district overall ranks lower, at the 27th percentile (1 star).

Completion metrics are a genuine strength. The graduation rate was 96.6% in 2024–2025, above the district's 94.8% and the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate was 0.8%, below the state's 1.1%. Per-student spending is $21,875, the highest among nearby regular high schools, paired with a relatively favorable 12.2 student-teacher ratio. The clearest warning sign is chronic absenteeism, which reached 29.6% in 2024–2025 — well above the district (22.8%) and the state (17.3%), and the highest among nearby schools. By comparison, Prairie Farm High and New Auburn High both reported 12.2%, and Rice Lake High reported 20.6%.

Test scores reversed direction: in 2024–2025 the school was above the state average in all four tested subjects, but in 2025–2026 it fell below in all four. Social Studies dropped to 32.08% proficient against a state figure of 48.25%, and Mathematics to 31.03% against 42.93%. ELA (46.55%) and Science (41.38%) are closer to state averages and second-highest among nearby schools, while Math and Social Studies rank near the bottom locally. Subgroup results are weaker still, with special education students at the 12th percentile, low-income students at the 22nd, and female students at the 29th.
