BUTTERNUT HIGH SCHOOL

Butternut High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Butternut School District school district, located in Butternut, WI with about 95 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Butternut High has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Butternut High School, located in the small community of Butternut, Wisconsin, serves as the primary secondary education institution for the local district. As a small, rural school, it emphasizes a close-knit learning environment where faculty and staff can provide personalized attention to students. The school is committed to fostering academic growth and character development, aiming to prepare its graduates for success in post-secondary education, vocational training, or the regional workforce.

Reflecting its community-focused mission, the school utilizes its website (lightatorch.info) to serve as a hub for district information, event calendars, and academic resources. By leveraging a community-oriented approach, Butternut High seeks to maintain strong partnerships between parents, educators, and the town of Butternut to ensure that students have the support necessary to thrive despite the challenges often faced by small, rural school districts.
