Summary:
The Pepin Area School District in Wisconsin is home to two schools: Pepin High and Pepin Elementary. While both schools share similar per-student spending and free/reduced lunch rates, their academic performance and statewide rankings tell a different story.
Pepin High stands out as the district's top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Wisconsin and maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. The school's test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Social Studies, are generally above the state averages, and its low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 may contribute to its strong academic success.
In contrast, Pepin Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 308th out of 1,067 schools in 2021-2022 to 562nd out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing well above the state average and others lagging behind. The higher chronic absenteeism rate at Pepin High compared to Pepin Elementary is also an area that warrants further investigation.
