High Schools in Butternut School District

The Butternut School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Butternut High, which serves grades 6-12. Despite its small size of just 92 students, Butternut High has shown promising performance indicators, including a high four-year graduation rate of 92.8% and a low dropout rate of 0.0% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Academically, Butternut High has demonstrated mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average on the Forward Exam, while others fall below. The school's performance on the ACT exam has also been mixed, with 50% of 10th-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.65%. However, the school's statewide ranking has improved dramatically, from 404 out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 77 out of 431 in 2023-2024, suggesting significant progress in overall quality.

One area of concern for Butternut High is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which could be a contributing factor to the school's mixed academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 60.87%. This suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and support to help students overcome these challenges and continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.
