Summary:
Alma School District in Wisconsin has exactly one high school — Alma High in Alma, WI — serving grades 9–12 with 80 students. Because the district operates only one high school, district-level scores are identical to Alma High's, so the most useful comparisons are to state averages and to the school's own prior years. The Alma School District is ranked 264th of 432 in Wisconsin (39th percentile, 2 stars), while Alma High's most recent school rank is 280th of 533 (47th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026.
The strongest results are graduation and social studies. Alma High posted a 100.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025, matching the district and beating the state's 92.0%. In social studies, 72.22% of 10th graders were proficient on the Forward Exam in 2025–2026, far above the state's 48.25% — a +23.97 point gap. That subject jumped from 33.33% in 2024–2025 while the state barely moved (47.67% to 48.25%), so the gain is local. Science also improved, rising from 30% to 36.36% and narrowing its gap to the state from -13.42 to -6.84 points. Overall, the school rebounded from 16th percentile / 1 star in 2024–2025 to 47th percentile / 2 stars in 2025–2026, though it remains below its 80th percentile / 4 stars in 2022–2023.
Math is the clearest and most persistent weakness: 27.27% proficient in 2025–2026 versus 42.93% statewide, a -15.66 point gap that widened slightly from the prior year's -12.73. English language arts is stable and close to state, at 45.45% versus 48.47%. Attendance is a contrast to the strong graduation rate: chronic absenteeism is 19.0%, above both the district (10.7%) and state (17.3%), and the dropout rate of 1.2% is slightly above the district (0.8%) and state (1.1%). Context matters here — with 80 students, a few students changing proficiency status can move percentages sharply, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution. Free/reduced lunch is 33.75%, spending per student is $17,870, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.8:1.
