Summary:
Alma Center, Wisconsin has one school in this data set: Lincoln Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 with 250 students as part of the Alma Center School District. Because it is the only school in the area and there are no separate elementary or middle schools, school and district figures are nearly identical, and the most useful comparison for families is between this school and Wisconsin averages.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and staffing. Chronic absenteeism is 8.2%, well below Wisconsin's 17.3% and even below the district's 9.6%, meaning students miss school far less often than the state norm. The student-teacher ratio is a low 11.7, and per-student spending is $17,136. Academically, 7th grade English language arts stands out at 65.63% proficient versus 55.33% statewide, and 10th grade ACT English language arts is also above state at 53.33% versus 48.47%. 7th grade math is essentially level with the state at 56.25% versus 55.67%.
Challenges are significant. The district is ranked 369th of 432 in Wisconsin — the 15th percentile, with 1 star — and the school's own rating slipped from 3 stars and the 52nd percentile in 2023–24 to 2 stars and the 32nd percentile in 2025–26. The graduation rate is 87.5% against 92.0% statewide. Test results are uneven: the school was above state in only 3 of 10 reported tests, and 8th grade is the weakest level, trailing the state in ELA (37.50% vs 54.38%), math, social studies, and science. 10th grade social studies is the sharpest concern at 22.92% versus 48.25% statewide. With only 250 students across grades 7–12, individual cohorts are small, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
