Summary:
The Boscobel Area School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Boscobel High, serving grades 9-12. While the school maintains a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling below the Wisconsin state averages.
Boscobel High's statewide ranking has dropped from 246 out of 391 Wisconsin high schools in 2021-2022 to 393 out of 431 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 2 stars to 0 stars over the same period. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments have also declined, with the 2023-2024 scores significantly lower than the state averages. These trends suggest that the school is struggling to maintain its academic performance compared to other high schools in the state.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,379, which is above the state average, Boscobel High serves a student population with a high percentage (51.64%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic performance, and the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates resources to better support student learning and address the needs of its student population.
