Kickapoo High has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin high schools, ranking between 319-348 out of 390-431 schools in recent years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, except for a brief period in 2014-2015 and 2013-2014 when it achieved a 4-star rating. The school's four-year graduation rate is strong, ranging from 94.4% to 97.9% in recent years, which is above the state average, and its dropout rate is also low, ranging from 0.0% to 1.2% in the past five years. However, Kickapoo High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.8% in 2019-2020 to 17.2% in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with the school performing better in social studies and science compared to English language arts and mathematics, and its ACT proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 20-32.5% of students meeting proficiency in English language arts, mathematics, and science.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Brookwood High, Cashton Middle/High, and Richland Center High, Kickapoo High's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher statewide rankings and better test scores. However, Kickapoo High's graduation rate is higher than some of the nearby schools. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's overall academic 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.
