Summary

La Farge High is a public high school in La Farge, Wisconsin, serving 68 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the La Farge School District, which is ranked 391 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While La Farge High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.4% to 100% in recent years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin high schools, with a ranking between 309 and 386 out of 431 high schools. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates below-average performance compared to other high schools in the state. Additionally, La Farge High has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 19.5%, which are above the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments are also generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Richland Center High, North Crawford High, Hillsboro High, and Kickapoo High, La Farge High generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. However, the school does have a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than many of the nearby schools, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and additional resources.
