Cumberland High

Summary:

Cumberland High is a public high school located in Cumberland, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 299 students. The school is part of the Cumberland School District, which is ranked 277 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Cumberland High's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.0% to 98.6% over the past five years, which is notably better than nearby schools. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.0% over the same period, significantly better than the state average and nearby schools. However, Cumberland High has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2018-2019 to 16.7% in 2022-2023, which the school should address. The school's test scores in subjects like Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par or slightly below the state and district averages, but have shown some improvement in recent years, particularly in Mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools, Cumberland High generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of test scores and school rankings, but stands out with its higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.8% to 47.1% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Cumberland High's spending per student has increased from $13,629 in 2018-2019 to $14,439 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the nearby schools, but it's unclear if this increased spending has directly translated to improved student outcomes.

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.
