Best High Schools in Beloit, WI

Beloit, Wisconsin has three high schools enrolling about 1,917 students: Memorial High and Beloit Learning Academy, both part of the Beloit School District, and Turner High, part of the Beloit Turner School District. Memorial and Turner serve grades 9–12, while Beloit Learning Academy serves grades 6–12. The two districts rank very differently statewide — Beloit Turner at 256th of 432 districts (41st percentile, 2 stars) and Beloit at 426th of 432 (1st percentile, 0 stars).

Turner High is the standout, and the only one of the three beating Wisconsin on the main outcome measures: a 98.0% graduation rate (state 92.0%), a 0.8% dropout rate (state 1.1%), and 12.9% chronic absenteeism (state 17.3%). Its 2025–2026 school rank is 311 of 533, or the 42nd percentile, and its ELA proficiency was 50.44% and 54.72% in the two reported years, above the state both times. Memorial High is far larger, with 1,305 students — about 68% of the area's high school enrollment — but ranks 478 of 533 (10th percentile, 1 star). Its graduation rate is 89.4%, its dropout rate 2.9%, and chronic absenteeism 46.9%; test proficiency is low across all four subjects.

Beloit Learning Academy faces the deepest challenges: a rank of 525 of 533 (2nd percentile, 0 stars), a 72.0% graduation rate, a 10.7% dropout rate, and 85.6% chronic absenteeism — more than double its own district's 42.7% and about five times the state's 17.3%. In 2025–2026 it reported 0% proficiency in Social Studies, Math and Science and 9.52% in ELA. Notably, spending does not track with results here: Turner spends the least per student ($14,162) yet performs best, while Beloit Learning Academy spends the most ($19,500) with the weakest outcomes. Its small size and grade 6–12 configuration mean comparisons should be made cautiously.
