Summary:
The Weston School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Weston Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 210 out of 410 schools in 2017-2018 to 331 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Weston Senior High School is underperforming compared to state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like social studies, English language arts, and science were all just 20%, significantly lower than the state averages of 45.08%, 45.65%, and 43.55%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 80.0% is also below the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1% is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,976 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average, the academic outcomes suggest the resources are not being used effectively to support student learning. The school's small student population of 81 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 may indicate challenges in providing a high-quality education, particularly given the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 44.44% for the 2022-2023 school year, which suggests significant socioeconomic challenges for the student population.
