Summary

Niagara High is a public high school in Niagara, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the Niagara School District, which is ranked 273 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Niagara High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.4% to 93.5% over the past few years, which are above the state average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.3% in recent years. However, its academic performance, as measured by test scores on the Forward Exam and ACT, shows a mixed performance compared to the state averages. While the school performs better than the state in some subject areas, it lags behind in others. This may be partly due to the significant population of low-socioeconomic status students at Niagara High, with 37.25% to 41.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When compared to the nearby Florence High and Pembine High, Niagara High generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, it has a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to the observed differences. Additionally, the school's performance data shows notable gender disparities, with female students consistently outperforming their male counterparts.
