However, the school has experienced notable differences in the performance of student subgroups, with male students consistently outperforming female students. The school's graduation rate has been relatively high, ranging from 90.4% to 94.9% in recent years, but it has also experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to nearby schools like Bloomer High and Rice Lake High.

Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High compared to the nearby schools, the school's academic performance has been mixed. This suggests that the school may need to examine how it is allocating and utilizing its resources to ensure they are being used effectively to support student learning and achievement. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance trends and implementing targeted interventions, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High may be able to improve its overall performance and better serve its student population.
