Rio Middle/High is a public school serving grades 6-12 in the Rio Community School District in Rio, Wisconsin. The school has 190 students and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, while the district as a whole is ranked 221 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5.

One of the key strengths of Rio Middle/High is its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 91.6% to 100% over the past 5 years. This is significantly higher than the state average and compares favorably to nearby schools like Randolph High (89.5%) and Portage High (95.8%). Additionally, the school has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 2.7% over the same period, which is much lower than the state average and other nearby schools. However, the school has seen fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.2% to 43.8% over the past 5 years, which is an area of concern.

Academically, Rio Middle/High students generally perform at or above the state average on the Forward Exam and ACT tests, particularly in social studies and science. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with proficiency rates often below the state average. There are also notable performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as female and male students, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. Additionally, Rio Middle/High spends between $15,644 and $15,876 per student, which is higher than the spending at nearby schools like Portage Academy of Achievement ($12,038) and Fall River High ($12,550).

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.
