Crandon High

Summary:

Crandon High is a public high school located in Crandon, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 242 students. The school is part of the Crandon School District, which is ranked 389 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crandon High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin high schools, with a ranking between 264 and 389 out of 431 schools in the state over the past several years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5 during the same period. While the school's male students have generally performed better than female students, and its white students have outperformed the overall student population, Crandon High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.1% in 2019-2020 to 41.5% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages in subjects like social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science.

Nearby schools, such as Laona High, have demonstrated stronger academic results and higher statewide rankings, suggesting that Crandon High could benefit from examining the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools. Addressing the challenges faced by Crandon High, including declining performance, gender disparities, and high chronic absenteeism rates, should be a priority for the school and the Crandon School District.

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.
