Summary

Lakeland High is a public high school located in Minocqua, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 705 students. The school is part of the Lakeland Union High School District, which is ranked 288 out of 426 school districts in the state.

Lakeland High has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school performs better than the state in some subjects like Social Studies, it lags behind in others like Science. The school has generally maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 90.4% to 94.8% over the past few years, but has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 26.9% in recent years. This is a significant concern, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

Interestingly, Lakeland STAR Academy (LSA), a public charter high school within the same district, has a much smaller enrollment of 21 students and a lower student-teacher ratio of 4.3. LSA also has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (71.43%) and spends significantly more per student ($37,311) compared to Lakeland High ($18,703). These differences may contribute to the schools' varying academic outcomes and warrant further investigation.
