Summary:
The Richland School District in Wisconsin serves students from 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Richland Center High School seeing a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, while the Richland Online Academy struggles with a high dropout rate.
Richland Center High School has made impressive strides, moving from 346th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 142nd out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school also boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%. However, its test scores remain below the state average, with only 30-45% of students proficient or better in core subjects.
In contrast, the Richland Online Academy stands out with its high dropout rate of 15.1% and lower 4-year graduation rate of 71.4%. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 26.3, which may contribute to the higher dropout rate. Additionally, all three of the district's schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.0% to 24.6%, which is an area of concern that the district may want to address.
