Summary:
The city of Denmark, Wisconsin is home to two public high schools: Denmark High and Viking Academy. Denmark High is the standout school, serving 465 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Denmark School District, which is ranked 120 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin. In contrast, Viking Academy is a smaller public charter high school serving grades 6-12 with only 32 students.
Denmark High has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past few years, going from 172nd out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to a projected 95th out of 431 schools in 2024-2025. The school has strong academic performance, with 10th grade students scoring above the state average in proficiency for subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ACT exam. Denmark High also has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3% and a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0%.
While Viking Academy has similar graduation and dropout metrics to Denmark High, its academic performance lags behind, with 10th grade students scoring significantly below the district and state averages on the Forward Exam for Social Studies. This could be an area of concern for the school, which serves a more economically disadvantaged student population with 43.75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 19.14% at Denmark High.
