Summary

Onalaska Junior/Senior High serves 492 students in grades 7 through 12 in the rural Onalaska Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track, boasting a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years and a high graduation rate of 95.1%.

This school shines brightest in English Language Arts and Social Studies. For example, 71.25% of students were proficient in English II Reading, far exceeding the state average of 59.88% and outperforming nearby schools like Groveton J H-H S (55.88%) and Livingston High School. In 8th-grade Social Studies, 46.99% of students were proficient, dramatically higher than the state average of 31.69% and the best among all neighboring schools. The school also has a historically strong Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 99th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 and rebounded to the 91st percentile in 2024-2025, showing a commitment to challenging high-achieving students.

However, mathematics is a critical area of concern. Only 1.67% of 7th graders were proficient in math, a steep drop from 41.89% the prior year and far below the state average of 29.41%. This is a more severe challenge than at any nearby school, including Groveton J H-H S (38% proficiency). The school also shows some inconsistency in supporting specific student groups from year to year, such as Special Education students. Addressing the math deficit and stabilizing support for all learners could help Onalaska return to the 4-star ratings it earned in the early 2020s.
