Rib Lake School District

The Rib Lake School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Rib Lake Elementary, Rib Lake High, and Rib Lake Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Rib Lake Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 65-188 elementary schools in Wisconsin over the past 3 years and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores significantly exceed the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. In contrast, Rib Lake High School has a lower statewide ranking, placing between 184-251 out of 415-431 high schools, with a 2-3 out of 5 star rating. While the high school maintains a strong 92.5% 4-year graduation rate and low 0% dropout rate, its test scores in English Language Arts and Science are below the state averages.

Rib Lake Middle School falls somewhere in the middle, ranking 102-245 out of 617-641 middle schools in Wisconsin, with a 3-4 out of 5 star rating. The middle school's test scores are generally above the state averages, but not to the same degree as the elementary school. The district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.86% to 47.98%. Additionally, the per-student spending varies significantly across the three schools, which the district should address to ensure equitable funding and resource allocation.
