Summary:
The city of Minong, Wisconsin is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle/high school, and 1 middle school charter school. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the traditional public schools and the charter school, with the NorthStar Community Charter School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and graduation rates.
The Northwood Elementary and Northwood High/Middle schools in the Northwood School District appear to be struggling, with both schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. The district's low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests there is room for improvement across the board.
The high chronic absenteeism rate at Northwood High/Middle is a concern and may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing attendance issues could be a priority for the district. Additionally, the relatively low free and reduced lunch rates at Northwood Elementary and Northwood High/Middle indicate these schools may not be serving the most economically disadvantaged students in the community, while the higher rate at the charter school suggests it may be reaching a more diverse population.
