Summary:
Mishicot, Wisconsin is a small community served by three public schools — Schultz Elementary (PK–5, 455 students), Mishicot Middle (6–8, 216 students), and Mishicot High (9–12, 274 students) — all part of the Mishicot School District, together enrolling roughly 945 students, with no alternative school listed. The district is ranked 237th of 432 in Wisconsin (45th percentile, 2 stars), and that same district rating appears for all three schools — but school-level results tell very different stories.
Mishicot Middle is the academic standout, particularly in math: 65th percentile, 3 stars, with grades 6–8 math averaging about 70.45% proficient, roughly 16 points above state. Seventh-grade math is especially strong at 81.16% versus the state's 55.67%. Chronic absenteeism is 7.3%, below the district's 8.0% and far below the state's 17.3%. Schultz Elementary has the best improvement trend, rising from 36th percentile (2 stars) two years ago to 62nd percentile (3 stars) now. Its ELA scores in grades 3–5 all beat state, 4th-grade science is 70.31% versus 53.46%, and chronic absenteeism is just 4.8%. Its watch area is upper-grade math, where 4th grade (48.44%) and 5th grade (43.24%) fall below state.
Mishicot High is the concern. It dropped from 71st percentile (4 stars) to 32nd percentile (2 stars), and all four reported subjects are now below state: social studies 32.39% versus 48.25%, ELA ACT 47.37%, math ACT 36.84%, and science ACT 31.58%. Completion remains excellent, however, with a 97.0% graduation rate, 0.3% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism of 13.4%. Notably, the high school spends the most per student ($15,171) with the smallest classes (13.2 students per teacher) yet has the weakest current test proficiency, while free/reduced lunch rates are similar across all three schools (24–29%). Because these schools are small, grade-level percentages can swing sharply from one year to the next.
