Cochrane-Fountain City High

Summary:

Cochrane-Fountain City High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 270 students in Fountain City, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Cochrane-Fountain City School District, which is ranked 122 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cochrane-Fountain City High has several key strengths, including a consistently high 100% four-year graduation rate and very low dropout rates, which are lower than the state average. The school also outperforms the state in several subject areas, particularly in Social Studies and Science. Compared to nearby high schools like Gilmanton High and Arcadia High, Cochrane-Fountain City High has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

However, the school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, and there are some areas of concern, such as increasing chronic absenteeism and potential disparities in student performance between genders and socioeconomic groups. While Cochrane-Fountain City High generally outperforms its neighbors, the school may need to focus on maintaining consistent academic excellence and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population to ensure continued success.

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.
