Summary:
The Crandon School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Crandon High. While the school has a slightly above-average graduation rate, it faces significant challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, below-average test scores, and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Crandon High's statewide ranking has dropped from 264th out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 to 381st out of 391 in 2021-2022, indicating a concerning trend in the school's performance. Additionally, the school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting below-average overall performance. The school's test scores in core subjects like Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages for 10th-grade students.
One area of concern is Crandon High's high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This issue may be contributing to the school's academic struggles. Furthermore, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (37.19%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which could also impact academic outcomes. While the school's spending per student is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's other challenges.
