Summary

Melrose-Mindoro Junior/Senior High is a public high school located in Melrose, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 317 students. The school is part of the Melrose-Mindoro School District, which is ranked 289 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Melrose-Mindoro Junior/Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 160 to 355 out of Wisconsin high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5. Compared to nearby schools, the school generally ranks lower than Onalaska High (4-star rating) and Holmen High (3-4 star rating), but higher than Sparta High (0-2 star rating) and Bangor Middle/High (1-3 star rating). The school has performed well for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top quarter of Wisconsin high schools for the past three years, but has struggled with English Language Arts test scores, with 7th and 8th-grade students scoring below the state average.

Melrose-Mindoro Junior/Senior High has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.4% to 100% over the past few years, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 0% to 1.3%. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 3% to 19.5% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools could be contributing factors to its overall performance, but the school's mixed test scores indicate that simply having more resources may not be the sole determinant of academic success.
