Summary:
Spring Valley High is the only high school serving the city of Spring Valley, Wisconsin, educating 194 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Spring Valley School District.
The school's current profile is strong. For 2025–2026, Spring Valley High ranked 50th of 533 schools, the 91st percentile with 5 stars — a dramatic rebound from 2024–2025, when it placed 288th of 431 at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, and an improvement over 2023–2024's 50th percentile and 3 stars. Test results reflect that rise: in 2025–2026 the school scored above the state in every reported subject, including Social Studies at 63.16% proficient versus the state's 48.25%, English Language Arts at 66.67% versus 48.47%, Mathematics at 60.61% versus 42.93%, and Science at 63.64% versus 43.20%. English Language Arts showed the most striking turnaround, climbing from 27.27% proficient (21.35 points below the state) to 66.67% (18.20 points above). Science rose 27.28 points and Mathematics 17.43 points, while Social Studies slipped 6.54 points but remained 14.91 points above the state. Because the school is the district's only high school, its test results match the district's exactly.
Outcomes and climate are also notable. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 100.0%, matching the district and exceeding the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%, below the state's 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism was 11.8% — better than the state's 17.3% but 5.5 percentage points above the district's 6.3%, the one area where the school trails its own district. Resource figures show moderate economic need and small classes: 24.74% free/reduced lunch participation, $15,992 spent per student, and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio. With just 194 students, year-to-year percentages can swing on a small number of students, so parents should read the large gains and any future declines with that context in mind.
