Summary:
The Greenwood School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Greenwood High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a strong 100% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.2%, it faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.4% and mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages.
Greenwood High's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 242 and 295 out of 415-431 high schools in recent years, and it is rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are mixed, with some subjects and grade levels performing above the district and state averages, while others lag behind. Additionally, nearly half (47.27%) of Greenwood High's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $18,085 for the 2020-2021 school year. However, the mixed academic performance suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong outcomes. To improve, Greenwood High could focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, strengthening academic achievement in certain subject areas, and exploring ways to better support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
