Summary:
Holmen, Wisconsin, is served by six schools — four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — all part of the Holmen School District, which enrolls about 3,611 students. The district is rated 138th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars. Enrollment is weighted toward the secondary grades: 1,242 students at the high school and 868 at the middle school, while the four elementary schools range from 317 to 466 students each.
Holmen Middle is the clear academic anchor, ranking 103rd of 643 (84th percentile, 4 stars) with the most consistent rank history in the group and a 2025-26 proficiency average of 70.26% — 14.75 points above the state on the same tests. Holmen High has climbed from the 62nd to the 79th percentile over three years and posts a 96.4% graduation rate, but its proficiency average slipped from 57.47% to 54.67%. Among elementaries, only Sand Lake Elementary improved, rising to a 62.44% average (65th percentile). Prairie View Elementary and Viking Elementary declined to roughly the district elementary average of 60.09%, while Evergreen Elementary fell most sharply, from the 86th to the 52nd percentile and from 63.37% to 56.68%.
Every Holmen school still exceeds the state average in 2025-26, though by very different margins — from +14.75 points at the middle school to +1.94 points at Evergreen. Chronic absenteeism is largely a high-school issue: Holmen High's 10.4% is more than double the district's 4.7% and far above the 0.9%–2.5% range at the other five schools, though all remain below the state's 17.3%. Spending and poverty do not track outcomes simply here: Evergreen has the highest per-student spending ($17,761) and lowest absenteeism (0.9%) yet the sharpest decline, while Viking has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (31.55%) and remains near the district average.
