Mauston School District

The Mauston School District in Wisconsin consists of 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 337 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. iLEAD Charter School has an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, but also a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district average. Mauston Montessori Charter School has some of the highest test scores in the district, particularly in social studies and science, but its overall state-wide ranking is in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools. The district's test scores are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions, such as Olson Middle School and Mauston Montessori Charter School having higher-than-average math scores in several grades.

The data reveals significant disparities in performance between the district's schools, with some schools outperforming others in various metrics. This suggests that the district may need to examine the factors contributing to these differences and implement strategies to improve equity across all schools. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates at the high school level, particularly at Mauston High School and iLEAD Charter School, are a concern and may be impacting student achievement.
