Granton High

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Granton High is a public high school located in Granton, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 105 students. The school is part of the Granton Area School District, which is ranked 393 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Granton High's strengths is its exceptional support for low-income students, ranking 18 out of 271 Wisconsin high schools for this population in the 2022-2023 school year with a 5-star rating. However, the school's overall performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from a high of 96 out of 452 in 2011-2012 to 305 out of 431 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Granton High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10.6% to 19.5% in recent years, and a concerning dropout rate between 0% and 3.2%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Marshfield High, Granton High generally performs worse on academic assessments, with proficiency rates often below 50% in core subject areas, while Marshfield High's rates exceed 50%. Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,718 in 2020-2021) than nearby schools like Neillsville High ($12,604 in 2020-2021), Granton High's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting the need for the school administration and district to re-evaluate their resource allocation and spending priorities.
