Summary:

The city of Waterloo, Wisconsin has only one high school, Waterloo High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 270th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 367th out of 431 in 2024-2025. Waterloo High's performance on standardized tests is below the state average, with only 36.51% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Social Studies in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.67%. The school's graduation rate of 91.0% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly below the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.3% is relatively low.

Waterloo High has a student population of 260 and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 43.08% for the 2023-2024 school year. The student-teacher ratio at the school is 14.4, slightly higher than the state average. The Waterloo School District spent $12,864 per student for the 2020-2021 school year.

While Waterloo High has some areas of concern, such as declining statewide ranking and underperformance on standardized tests, it also has strengths, such as a relatively low dropout rate. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year is an area that may require attention and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes.
