Summary:
The Flambeau School District contains a single high school, Flambeau High, which has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years. While the school boasts a strong 100% four-year graduation rate, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.1% and below-average test scores compared to the state average.
Flambeau High's SchoolDigger ranking has dropped from 298 out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 to 374 out of 390 in 2020-2021, with a corresponding decline in its star rating from 2 to 0 over the same period. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average at $15,550, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the high percentage of students (51.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant economic challenges.
While Flambeau High's strong graduation rate and low student-teacher ratio suggest areas of strength, the school's overall performance challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism and below-average test scores, warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success. The district may need to address the root causes of these issues, such as socioeconomic factors or engagement concerns, to help improve the school's outcomes and ensure equitable access to resources for all students.
