Washington Island School District

The Washington Island School District consists of two schools: Washington Island Elementary and Washington Island High. Based on the available data, Washington Island Elementary appears to be a standout school within the district, consistently ranking in the top 30-40% of Wisconsin elementary schools and significantly outperforming state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Washington Island High School's performance data is more limited, but it does not appear to be as strong of a performer as the elementary school.

Washington Island Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, with 4th and 8th-grade students scoring 66.67% to 83.33% proficient or better on tests across multiple subjects. The school also maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.0% and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%. Additionally, the school spends a relatively high amount of $25,265 per student, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The small student-teacher ratio of 5.1 at the elementary school likely allows for more individualized attention and support.

In contrast, Washington Island High School's performance data is more limited, with only one subject and grade level reported. While the high school's 10th-grade Social Studies scores are slightly above the state average, the school's overall ranking is not provided, and its test scores in other subjects are unknown. The high school's spending per student is significantly higher at $35,179, and its student-teacher ratio is also higher at 10.9. These differences suggest that the academic success of the elementary school may not be translating to the high school level, which could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement within the district.
