Summary:
The Northwood School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Northwood High/Middle. While the school has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it currently ranks 238 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Northwood High/Middle has a strong 94.7% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating excellent student retention. However, the school's test scores on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments are generally below the Northwood School District and Wisconsin state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.39% of 8th-grade students at Northwood High/Middle were proficient or better in Forward Exam/Mathematics, compared to 20.69% for the Northwood School District and 53.29% for the state.
Despite the school's academic underperformance, Northwood High/Middle appears to have some demographic and funding advantages, such as a low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and higher per-student spending. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.2, the school also has relatively small class sizes. By addressing its academic challenges, particularly in core subjects, Northwood High/Middle may be able to improve its statewide ranking and better serve its student population.
