While the schools show mixed performance on state assessments, Cumberland High School and Cumberland Middle School stand out, ranking 211 and 396 respectively among Wisconsin schools. The district as a whole faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and disparities in funding and resources across the schools.

Cumberland High School maintains a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and performs above the district and state averages in several subject areas on the ACT and Forward Exam assessments.

The Cumberland School District as a whole appears to be performing at a similar level, with all schools within the district ranking in the middle to lower range of their respective state rankings. This suggests a need for the district to examine its overall educational strategies and identify areas for improvement to raise the performance of all its schools, particularly in addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism across the district.
