Summary:
The Wild Rose School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Wild Rose High, serving grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 199 out of 391 Wisconsin high schools in 2021-2022 to 320 out of 431 in 2023-2024, it maintains a slightly above-average four-year graduation rate of 88.8% and a lower-than-average dropout rate of 0.8%.
Academically, Wild Rose High's performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in some subject areas and grade levels exceeding the state averages, while in others, such as 10th grade ACT Mathematics, the school falls significantly below the state average. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. However, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,630 for the 2020-2021 school year suggests the district is investing resources in the school, and understanding the factors contributing to its strengths could help the school replicate that success in other areas.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may also play a role in the school's performance, as Wild Rose High has a relatively high percentage of students (48.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This could inform strategies for providing additional support and resources to these students to help address the school's declining performance and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
