Antigo High

Summary:

Antigo High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 855 students in Antigo, Wisconsin. Based on the data provided, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Wisconsin high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Antigo High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in 8th grade English Language Arts (29.66%) and Mathematics (32.88%) were well below the state averages. The school's performance on the ACT test for 10th graders is also lagging, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.77%), Mathematics (38.06%), and Science (35.48%) trailing the state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.2% in 2018-2019 to 48.3% in 2020-2021, which is a concerning trend closely linked to academic performance and student success.

Antigo High School serves a student population with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance on academic measures is lower for subgroups such as female students, male students, and white students compared to the state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student populations. To address these challenges, the Antigo Unified School District should consider implementing comprehensive strategies to improve instructional practices, address attendance and engagement, and provide additional resources and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
