Summary:

Cassville High is a public high school located in Cassville, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 83 students. The school is part of the Cassville School District, which is ranked 167 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Cassville High has several notable strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 88.2% to 100% over the past five years, and very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.1% over the same period. This is significantly better than nearby schools like Lancaster High, which had a 22.4% dropout rate in 2022-2023. However, Cassville High has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 0% in 2019-2020 to 24.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby River Ridge High, which had 6.4% chronic absenteeism in 2022-2023.

Cassville High's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state in some subject areas but underperforming in others. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.1 to 7.1 over the past three years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools. However, Cassville High's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, and the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students and low socioeconomic status students, has been relatively low compared to the state averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased from $21,567 in 2018-2019 to $18,046 in 2020-2021, which may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.

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.
