Summary:

Luck High is a public high school located in Luck, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 118 students. The school is part of the Luck School District, which is ranked 371 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

One of Luck High's notable strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.0% to 100.0% over the past five years, outperforming nearby schools like Osceola High at 99.3% and Amery High at 96.8%. Additionally, Luck High has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.4%, significantly better than the nearby schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, while better than some nearby schools, are still relatively high, ranging from 3.5% to 16.9%.

Academically, Luck High's test scores in subjects like Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools. The school's statewide ranking has also been declining, from a high of 82 out of 466 Wisconsin high schools in the 2014-2015 school year to a low of 308 out of 431 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that Luck High may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state, which could be influenced by the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50% to 56.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

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.
