Summary:
The city of Wild Rose, Wisconsin is home to two schools - Wild Rose Elementary and Wild Rose High. While the elementary school is a strong performer, ranking in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools, the high school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years.
Wild Rose School District as a whole is ranked 293 out of 428 districts in the state. Both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the high school at 20.8% and the elementary school at 16.6%. Academically, Wild Rose Elementary outperforms the state average in most grade level and subject tests, while Wild Rose High lags behind the state average, especially in Math and Science.
Despite relatively high per-student spending and small student-teacher ratios, the performance gap between the two schools is significant. The community's socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be impacting student outcomes. Addressing chronic absenteeism, academic achievement gaps, and efficient use of resources will be crucial for the district to improve overall school performance.
