Summary:
Loyal, Wisconsin is served by three public schools in the Loyal School District — Loyal Elementary (PK–5, 183 students), Loyal Middle School (6–8, 108 students), and Loyal High (9–12, 168 students) — for a total enrollment of 459 students. The district is rated 389th of 432 Wisconsin districts, in the 10th percentile with 1 star, but the individual schools are not performing alike.
Loyal High has the strongest current standing, ranking 369 of 533 (31st percentile, 2 stars), up from the 12th percentile the year before. It graduates 97.3% of students with a 0.6% dropout rate, both better than state, and 10th-grade social studies reaches 54.55% proficient versus the state's 48.25%. Loyal Middle School shows the opposite trend, dropping from 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2023–24 to 26th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26; 7th-grade ELA is 26.47% versus the state's 55.33%. Loyal Elementary sits at the 25th percentile with 1 star, with a bright 3rd grade (70.59% ELA, 58.82% math) but a weak 4th grade (32.26% ELA, 22.58% math, 34.38% science).
Attendance is a genuine strength at the elementary (5.6%) and middle (4.8%) levels, far below the state's 17.3%, though the high school's 15.3% is higher than both. The main academic concern is Loyal High's ACT results, which trail the state in ELA, math (25.64% vs. 42.93%), and science (28.21% vs. 43.2%) even as graduation rates shine. Spending is relatively high at roughly $19,970 per student districtwide, and student/teacher ratios are low, yet achievement lags in most subjects. Free/reduced lunch is similar across all three schools at about 40–43%, so economic context does not distinguish them.
