Durand-Arkansaw School District

The Durand-Arkansaw School District in Wisconsin consists of two schools: Durand Middle/High and Caddie Woodlawn Elementary. Durand Middle/High stands out as the stronger performer, with a higher statewide ranking, better graduation and dropout rates, and stronger test scores compared to the district and state averages. However, both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, as indicated by the high free and reduced lunch rates.

Durand Middle/High has a statewide school digger ranking of 103 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools, earning a 4-star rating. In contrast, Caddie Woodlawn Elementary has a lower ranking of 573 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. Durand Middle/High also boasts impressive graduation and dropout rates, with a 93.5% four-year graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate, significantly better than the state averages.

Both schools perform well on standardized tests, with Durand Middle/High generally exceeding the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and social studies. Caddie Woodlawn Elementary also shows strong performance, with several grade levels surpassing the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district spends more per student at the high school level compared to the elementary level, and both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which can contribute to better learning outcomes.
