School of Options and Applied Research High

Summary:

The School of Options and Applied Research High is a public charter high school located in Eagle River, Wisconsin, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 32 students. It is part of the Northland Pines School District, which is ranked 186 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 30th out of 391 Wisconsin high schools in 2021-2022 to 412th out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, receiving a 0-star rating. This decline is particularly concerning for specific student groups, such as male students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank even lower. However, the school has maintained a consistently high 100% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Conversely, the school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.8% in 2018-2019 to 48.1% in 2022-2023, which is a significant issue that the school should address.

Compared to the nearby Northland Pines High School, the School of Options and Applied Research High generally underperforms in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and other key metrics. However, the school's student-to-teacher ratio is significantly lower than Northland Pines High, which may indicate a more personalized learning environment. Overall, the data suggests that the School of Options and Applied Research High faces several challenges and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
