Summary

Wisconsin Dells High is a public high school serving 577 students in grades 9-12 in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Wisconsin Dells School District, which is ranked 282 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wisconsin Dells High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past several years, ranging from 147th to 308th out of Wisconsin high schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with the percentage of 10th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics (34.78%) and ACT/Science (36.96%) lower than the state averages (42.73% and 43.42%, respectively). Compared to nearby schools, such as Portage Academy of Achievement and Mauston High, Wisconsin Dells High's academic performance is mixed, outperforming some schools in certain subject areas but lagging behind others.

Despite the academic challenges, Wisconsin Dells High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.4% to 93.5% over the past few years, and a low dropout rate fluctuating between 1.0% and 1.9%. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are generally in line with nearby schools. However, Wisconsin Dells High has a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 40.89% to 51.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This may be contributing to the school's academic performance challenges, and targeted interventions could be key to improving outcomes for all students.
