High Schools in Richland School District

The Richland School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Richland Center High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1%, its performance on standardized tests, such as the Forward Exam and ACT, is generally below the state average. The school's ranking within the state has also declined over the past few years, from 293 out of 391 schools in 2021-2022 to 346 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023.

Richland Center High's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state average, ranging from 16.67% to 30.67% and 7.69% to 45.33% respectively for 7th and 8th grade students. The school's ACT proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science are also generally below the state average, ranging from 41.56% to 59.74%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.0%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 students per teacher and a 51.87% rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests the school may be serving a socioeconomically diverse population. However, the overall data suggests that Richland Center High is a relatively average-performing school in the state of Wisconsin, and the district may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the school's areas of concern and improve student outcomes.
