Summary:
The Blair-Taylor School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Blair-Taylor Middle/High, which serves grades 6-12. The school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 0-star rating in 2020-2021.
While Blair-Taylor Middle/High has a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance as measured by standardized test scores is generally lower than the state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science were lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 8th-grade Mathematics and 10th-grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average.
The school's socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor to its academic performance and overall ranking. Blair-Taylor Middle/High has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending is higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, which suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. To improve the school's performance, the district may need to focus on addressing these underlying factors and implementing strategies to support student learning and achievement.
