WASHINGTON ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL

Washington Island High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Washington Island School District school district, located in Washington Island, WI with about 24 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 3 teachers, Washington Island High has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

Washington Island High School, located at 888 Main Rd on Washington Island, Wisconsin, serves as the educational heart of one of the state's most unique and remote island communities. As part of the Washington Island School District, the school operates within a highly close-knit environment where small class sizes allow for personalized attention and a strong sense of community between students, staff, and local residents. Because of its isolated location, the school plays a central role in island life, often fostering deep connections that span across generations of island families.

The school is committed to providing a comprehensive academic experience that prepares students for life both on and off the island. Despite its small size, it emphasizes a well-rounded education, integrating core curriculum with opportunities that leverage the island's unique geographical and natural setting.
