Washburn High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Washburn School District school district, located in Washburn, WI with about 168 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 15 teachers, Washburn High has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Situated along the shores of Lake Superior, the school benefits from a tight-knit, small-town environment that emphasizes community involvement, personalized instruction, and a strong connection to the unique geography and culture of the Chequamegon Bay area.
The school is dedicated to preparing its students for post-secondary success by offering a curriculum that balances rigorous academic standards with diverse extracurricular opportunities. By maintaining a smaller student body, Washburn High fosters an inclusive atmosphere where students are encouraged to engage in athletics, arts, and community service projects.
