Summary:
The city of Walworth, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Big Foot High, a public high school serving grades 9-12, and Walworth Elementary, a public school serving grades PK-8. While both schools have seen fluctuations in their statewide rankings, they maintain relatively low dropout rates. However, test scores at both schools are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions at the elementary level.
Big Foot High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 216th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 344th out of 431 in 2024-2025. Despite this, the school maintains a high 91.0% four-year graduation rate. Walworth Elementary has also seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from 673rd out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 658th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025.
Both schools have high rates of students receiving free and reduced lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. Big Foot High spends $14,720 per student, while Walworth Elementary spends $12,825 per student, both of which are above the state average. The data suggests that the schools and the Big Foot Union High School School District and Walworth J1 School District should examine the underlying factors contributing to the observed trends and develop targeted strategies to address the disparities in student performance and resource allocation.
