Summary:
The Niagara School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Niagara High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Wisconsin high schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Niagara High's academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and 7th grade Mathematics, but significant weaknesses in other subjects and grade levels, including 8th grade Mathematics, 10th grade Social Studies, and 8th grade Science. The school's graduation rate is relatively high at 93.1%, but dropout rates are also high at 1.0%, and chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 10.5% of students chronically absent.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 39.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, Niagara High's overall performance remains below average, suggesting that simply allocating more resources or reducing class sizes may not be enough to drive significant improvements in student achievement. A more comprehensive approach that addresses instructional quality, curriculum, and other factors may be necessary to improve the school's performance.
