Summary:
There is exactly one high school in the city of Gresham, Wisconsin: Gresham High, part of the Gresham School District. It serves grades 6–12 with 155 students, so its reported test results mix 6th–8th grade Forward Exam scores with 10th grade ACT and Social Studies results. With only one school in the area, the most useful comparison is how it stacks up against district and state averages and how it has changed over time.
The school's strongest story is its upward trend. Statewide, it rose from 370th of 431 schools (14th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 to 266th of 533 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — a large jump, especially since the 2025–2026 ranking pool was bigger. Graduation outcomes are a clear strength: a 95.8% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, and a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%. Class sizes are small (10.4 students per teacher) and per-student spending is $19,337. In 2025–2026, 8th graders beat the state in Social Studies (77.27% vs 64.63%), Science (68.18% vs 51.86%), Math (68.18% vs 53.67%), and matched it in ELA (54.55% vs 54.38%) — a dramatic rebound from 2024–2025, when that grade trailed the state in every subject. 10th grade Social Studies was above state both years, and ACT Science moved above state too.
Areas to watch: chronic absenteeism is 22.9%, above the state's 17.3% though below the district's 25.5%. ACT ELA (40% vs 48.47%) and ACT Math (26.67% vs 42.93%) remain below state, with math the bigger gap. Middle grades are uneven — 6th grade improved but stayed below state in ELA and Math, while 7th grade slipped from above state to below it, suggesting cohort effects worth watching.
