Summary:
Benton School District in Wisconsin has exactly one high school, Benton High, serving 61 students in grades 9–12 in Benton, WI. Because it is the district’s only high school, its test scores are the same as the district’s in this data, and the district itself is rated 3 stars, ranked 175 of 432 (59th percentile).
For 2025–2026, Benton High earned 4 stars and ranked 160 of 533, the 70th percentile, a rebound from 2 stars in 2024–2025. Its test results were mixed: 60% proficient in ACT math, 60% in ACT science, 50% in Forward social studies, and 40% in ACT English language arts. Math and science were well above the state (42.93% and 43.2%), and social studies was slightly above the state’s 48.25%. However, social studies fell sharply from 86.67% the prior year, and ELA was below the state’s 48.47%, though it improved from 33.33%. So the school’s academic strengths are in math and science, while ELA is the main academic gap.
Other metrics show a similar mix. The graduation rate was 73.3%, far below the state’s 92.0%, the most notable concern. The dropout rate was 0.0%, better than the state’s 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism was 11.5%, better than the state’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 9.0%. Per-student spending was $19,951, and the student-teacher ratio was 8.4, suggesting a small, well-resourced environment. With only 61 students, year-to-year changes can be driven by a few students, so families should watch trends over multiple years.
