Public, Charter Grades 6-12

Summary

Lemonweir Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Mauston, Wisconsin, with an enrollment of just 52 students. While the school has seen very low dropout rates compared to the larger Mauston School District, it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates that are notably higher than the district average.

Academically, Lemonweir Academy's test scores on the Forward Exam are generally lower than the Mauston School District and Wisconsin state averages across subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade ELA, Lemonweir Academy scored 14.29% proficient or better compared to 46.05% for the district and 53.97% for the state. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26:1, compared to 12.1:1 at Mauston High. Interestingly, the nearby iLEAD Charter School shows stronger academic performance than Lemonweir Academy.

Lemonweir Academy serves a student population with a high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 48.48% to 61.54% in recent years. This high-needs population may contribute to the school's academic challenges and high chronic absenteeism. When compared to larger high schools in the surrounding area, such as Wisconsin Dells High and Hillsboro High, Lemonweir Academy's academic performance is generally lower, with fewer students scoring proficient or advanced on state assessments.
