Ashland School District

The Ashland School District in Wisconsin serves students from 4 schools - 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and outcomes between the schools, with Marengo Valley Elementary standing out as a relative bright spot while the other schools lag behind state averages on key metrics.

Marengo Valley Elementary has the highest state-wide ranking among the 4 schools, currently ranked 467 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars. It has significantly higher test scores compared to the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Lake Superior Elementary has lower test scores and a lower state ranking (855 out of 1,061 schools, 1 star rating) compared to Marengo Valley.

Ashland High School and Ashland Middle School both have relatively low state rankings and are rated only 1 star by SchoolDigger. Across the board, test scores at the Ashland schools lag behind state averages, particularly in math and English language arts. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which likely contributes to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages.
