Summary:
The city of Three Lakes, Wisconsin is home to three schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school - all part of the Three Lakes School District. While the district shows a mix of academic performance, Three Lakes Junior High stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking among the top 20% of Wisconsin middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, Three Lakes High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom 30% of Wisconsin high schools and earning only a 1-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, are significantly below the state averages. The elementary school, Three Lakes Elementary, has shown more mixed results, with strong proficiency rates in some grade levels and subjects, but also areas of weakness.
Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.9% at the elementary school to 22.1% at the high school, may be impacting academic performance. Additionally, the varying free and reduced lunch rates, from 34.21% at the high school to 49.07% at the elementary school, suggest a range of socioeconomic backgrounds among the student populations. The district's resource allocation, with the high school spending the most per student at $23,028, while the elementary school spends $16,224 per student, may also be an area for further examination.
