Summary:
The Ashland School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Ashland High, which has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state. With a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom quartile of Wisconsin high schools, Ashland High faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes.
Ashland High's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is well below the state averages across all subjects. For example, only 32.52% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Social Studies, compared to the state average of 45.08%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% is also slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.9% is relatively low.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance. Ashland High has a high percentage of students (55.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is also slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the quality of individual attention and support available to students. These challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student success at Ashland High.
