Best Public Schools in Hammond, WI

The city of Hammond, Wisconsin is home to three schools: one high school, one middle school, and one alternative virtual school. The standout schools in this area are Saint Croix Central Middle School, which is ranked 62 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and has consistently high test scores, and Saint Croix Central High School, which is ranked 105 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has an impressive 91% four-year graduation rate.

The Saint Croix Central Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, with 60-70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 5-8, and strong performance in Social Studies and Science. In contrast, the virtual Saint Croix Virtual Academy Inc. lags behind the district and state in many subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science, which may be related to its lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio.

The Saint Croix Central High School also performs well, with a 58.88% proficiency rate in ACT English Language Arts and 57.01% in ACT Science for 10th grade. However, the overall performance of the Saint Croix Central School District, as reflected in its 3-star rating, suggests room for improvement across the district, especially in areas where the virtual school lags behind.
