Almond High School

What Almond High School does

Almond High School is the secondary (grades 9-12) face of the Almond-Bancroft School District, a small rural public K-12 school district headquartered at 1336 Elm Street, Almond, Wisconsin. The district operates as a single unified PK-12 campus that was substantially expanded and remodeled in Fall 1999, serving resident students in Central Wisconsin (approximately 25 minutes southeast of Stevens Point). It is a government entity, not a commercial enterprise, supervised by a seven-person Board of Education and administered by Dr. Becker as District Administrator. The district is structured around three academic programs (Elementary 4K-5, Middle School 6-8, and High School 9-12), supported by a Special Education department, athletics, and an on-site Boys and Girls Club extension for after-school and summer programming. Operational metrics include a 98-100% graduation rate, elementary class sizes of 12-18, middle/high school classes below 22, and an average teacher tenure of 10 years.

The district's technology posture is built on a 1:1 Chromebook program and an integrated SaaS stack, including Google Workspace for Education, Skyward Student Information System (with Family Access portal), Follett Destiny library management, Xello career planning, Arbiter for athletics, Finalsite for website and communications, and supplementary tools such as Kahoot, Edmodo, BadgerLink, and CyberSmart!. Technology adoption is entirely vendor-mediated; there is no proprietary platform or internal product development. The district operates no tuition or fee-based service, and student access is determined by residency within district boundaries.

As a public school district, Almond-Bancroft is funded through a combination of local property tax revenue, state per-pupil aid, categorical state funding, and federal education grants, with no commercial revenue stream. Go-to-market is effectively geographic enrollment of resident students. Customer engagement goes through the district website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, monthly digital newsletters, Partners In Education community outreach, and active parent-side portals such as Skyward Family Access. Leadership comprises Dr. Becker (District Administrator), James Highfield (6-12 Principal), and Lyndsey Larkin (4K-5 Principal and Director of Special Education).

Broad incumbents

• Stevens Point Area Public School District: Significantly larger central Wisconsin PK-12 district serving the Stevens Point metro area, the closest larger district to Almond-Bancroft. Operates in the same state aid system but offers broader curricular, athletic, and extracurricular programming that competes with small rural districts for open-enrolled students.
• Portage Community School District: Larger central Wisconsin PK-12 district geographically proximate to Almond-Bancroft (~25 minutes from Stevens Point). Operates in the same funding environment and serves similar rural/small-city families, but at meaningfully greater scale — the primary destination for open-enrollment transfers out of Almond-Bancroft.

Regional players

• School District of Wisconsin Rapids: Larger central-Wisconsin PK-12 district that, while geographically nearby, primarily competes for students from a different commuting region and serves a more urban population base than Almond-Bancroft's rural Almond footprint.
