Summary:
The Brodhead School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Brodhead High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.0%, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 283 out of 391 schools in 2021-2022 to 324 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Brodhead High's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in ACT Mathematics was 33.33%, compared to the state average of 42.37%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%, which is a concern.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the school has a relatively high percentage of students (33.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. While the Brodhead School District's spending per student is higher than the state average at $14,328, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights several areas of concern for Brodhead High School, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
