Summary:
The Antigo Unified School District in Wisconsin serves about 1,571 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, with no alternative schools. As a district, it ranks 342 of 432 in the state, placing it at the 21st percentile with 1 star. Enrollment is concentrated in the upper grades — Antigo High alone accounts for roughly half of all students, while the two elementary schools together enroll about 21.6%.
Antigo Middle is the district's clear bright spot. In 2025–2026 it ranked 292 of 643 schools, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars — a steady climb from 2 stars and the 35th–40th percentile in the two prior years. It beat state averages in 7 of 10 reported tests, including 6th-grade ELA (71.00% vs. 54.95%) and 5th-grade math (61.86% vs. 51.81%), and its chronic absenteeism of 15.0% is below both the district (25.0%) and state (17.3%). Antigo High is the opposite story: 1 star, 20th percentile, and test scores well below state — 10th-grade social studies at 27.82% vs. 48.25%, ACT math at 25.78% vs. 42.93%. Its chronic absenteeism is 39.0%, more than double the state rate, with a graduation rate of 88.3% (below the state's 92.0%) and a dropout rate of 1.3%.
The elementaries are mixed. North Elementary (2 stars, 37th percentile) is strong in 4th-grade science (60.22% vs. 53.46%) and 3rd-grade ELA (55.77% vs. 52.08%) but below state in math, and it has the district's highest per-student spending ($19,697), lowest student-teacher ratio (9.9), and highest free/reduced lunch share (72.08%). West Elementary has the best attendance in the district at 9.6% but limited recent achievement data, and its available 3rd-grade scores fall below state. Notably, absenteeism tracks closely with performance across all four schools. Some grade-level records appear misaligned — for example, 8th-grade tests under Antigo High and 3rd-grade tests under the PK–1 West Elementary — so grade-to-grade comparisons should be read with caution.
