Summary:
The Baldwin-Woodville Area School District in western Wisconsin has just one high school, Baldwin-Woodville High, which serves grades 9–12 to 533 students in the town of Baldwin.
Because the district has only one high school, there is no other local high school to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are the school versus the state and the school versus its own past performance. Those comparisons are flattering. In the latest rank history for 2025-2026, Baldwin-Woodville High ranks 54th of 533 schools, placing it in the 90th percentile with 5 stars, up sharply from 181st of 431 (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024-2025 and above the district's overall standing of 106 of 432 (75th percentile, 4 stars). Test scores support that rise. In 2025-2026, 10th graders were proficient at 60.15% in Social Studies, 68.52% in ACT English Language Arts, 58.33% in ACT Mathematics, and 59.26% in ACT Science. Every subject beat the state, with the largest margins in ELA (+20.05 points), Science (+16.06), and Math (+15.40). The biggest year-over-year gains came in ELA (+17.37 points) and Science (+15.75 points).
Outcomes after high school also look strong. The graduation rate is 96.1% versus 92.0% statewide, and the dropout rate is 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 14.1%, better than the state's 17.3% but slightly above the district-wide average of 12.5% — the one metric where the high school trails the district as a whole. For context, 21.58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending per student is $14,218, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.1. Overall, this is a mid-sized high school with a recent, measurable jump in statewide standing and consistently above-state results.
