Summary

Prentice High is a public high school located in Prentice, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Prentice School District, which is ranked 323 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prentice High has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past 10 years, indicating inconsistent academic performance. The school's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics have generally been lower than the state averages and the scores of the nearby Rib Lake High and Phillips High schools. Additionally, Prentice High has relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be impacting academic outcomes.

Despite the higher spending per student at Prentice High compared to the nearby schools, the school's academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources invested. This may indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify opportunities for improvement. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Prentice High suggests that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's performance.
