Summary:
The Ladysmith School District contains only one high school, Ladysmith High. While Ladysmith High does not appear to be a standout school within the district, its performance when compared to statewide metrics reveals some notable findings.
Ladysmith High's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 189 out of 391 schools in 2021-2022 to 332 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023, and then to 239 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates above the state average in some subjects like English Language Arts and Science, but below average in others like Social Studies and Mathematics. Additionally, Ladysmith High has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1% and nearly half of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges.
Overall, Ladysmith High appears to be an average-performing school within the state of Wisconsin, with areas of strength and others that could use improvement. The school's declining statewide ranking, mixed academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rate are factors that may warrant further investigation and potential intervention to support student success.
