Summary:
The city of Keshena, Wisconsin is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. Based on the available data, the schools in Keshena appear to be struggling, with low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and poor overall rankings compared to other schools in the state.
The two elementary schools, Keshena Primary and Kaehkenawapahtaeq, as well as the Menominee Indian High School, all have very low proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, with most grades scoring below 20% proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These schools perform significantly worse than the state average on these assessments. Additionally, Keshena Primary has a staggeringly high chronic absenteeism rate of 52.4%, while Menominee Indian High and Kaehkenawapahtaeq also have high rates of 8.0% and 35.3%, respectively.
The data also shows that Menominee Indian High School has an extremely low 4-year graduation rate of just 1.1% and a dropout rate of 1.4%. All three schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.33% to 92.77%. Despite the high per-student spending, the schools are not achieving strong outcomes, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized. The historical data shows little to no improvement in the schools' performance over time, indicating a need for a comprehensive review and implementation of effective interventions by the Menominee Indian School District.
