Summary:
The Maple School District has only one high school, Northwestern High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, it currently ranks 123 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Northwestern High boasts a strong 96.9% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, though its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is a concern.
Academically, Northwestern High has shown strengths in certain subjects, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school's performance has been variable, with lower proficiency rates in the 2022-2023 school year compared to the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending of $13,150 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 suggest that it may be serving a population with higher socioeconomic needs.
Overall, Maple School District's sole high school, Northwestern High, has demonstrated both strengths and areas for improvement. While the school's strong graduation rate and academic performance in certain subjects are commendable, the fluctuating statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rate warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure consistent and equitable educational outcomes for all students.
