Best High Schools in Fall River, WI

Fall River, Wisconsin has one high school — Fall River High — a combined middle-and-high campus serving grades 6 through 12 with 253 students, and it is the only school reporting at this level in the Fall River School District, which ranks 119th of 432 Wisconsin districts. Because it is the district's sole school at this level, school and district figures are nearly identical on most measures; the one exception is chronic absenteeism, where the school (8.2%) is higher than the district (5.3%).

Its standout results are in completion and attendance. Fall River High graduates 98.0% of its students versus 92.0% statewide, has a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1% statewide, and reports chronic absenteeism of 8.2% against 17.3% statewide — less than half the state rate. Grade-10 ACT results are the clearest academic strength: the school beat the state in every subject reported in both years, with advantages ranging from +7.07 to +26.28 points. In 2024–25, 69.70% of students were proficient in ACT Science against 43.42% statewide. ACT Math was not reported for 2024–25 but reached 50.00% in 2025–26, above the state's 42.93%.

Forward Exam results are more uneven. Grade-8 math was 30.43% proficient in 2024–25 and 40.00% in 2025–26, well below the state's roughly 53–54%; grade-7 and grade-8 math also trailed state in 2025–26, as did grade-10 social studies (39.47% versus 48.25%). The school's overall rank moved from the 50th percentile in 2023–24 to the 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2024–25, then to the 68th percentile in 2025–26. With roughly 36 students per grade, a few students can shift a grade-level rate by several points, so single-year swings should be read cautiously. Context looks favorable: $17,460 spent per student, a 12.4:1 student–teacher ratio, and 27.27% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
