Oshkosh Area School District

The Oshkosh Area School District consists of 20 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Traeger Middle School and the Accelerated Advanced Learning Program consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to meet state averages.

The Accelerated Advanced Learning Program, a public charter middle school, is the top-ranked middle school in the state, with near-perfect proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. Traeger Middle School also performs exceptionally well, ranking among the top in the state with strong test scores, low dropout rates, and low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, some schools like Merrill Elementary and E Cook Elementary struggle with lower test scores and higher rates of chronic absenteeism.

The district's high schools, West High and North High, have relatively strong graduation rates and low dropout rates, but their test scores are still below the state averages. The wide range in per-student spending across the district suggests that funding may not be the sole driver of school performance, and other factors like school leadership, teacher quality, and student demographics likely play a significant role.
