Summary:
There is one high school in the Brodhead School District: Brodhead High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 313 students. The district as a whole ranks 336th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 22nd percentile with a 1-star rating, while the high school itself has been moving up in recent years — from the 25th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026.
Brodhead High's clearest strengths are in completion and in English language arts. Its graduation rate is 96.2%, above the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate is 0.0%, compared with 0.6% districtwide and 1.1% statewide. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ACT ELA proficiency reached 51.35%, above the state's 48.47% — the only tested subject where the school outperformed the state, and an improvement from 45.83% the prior year, when it was below state.
Other results are more mixed. Social studies proficiency is 30.38%, far below the state's 48.25%, and the gap widened from the prior year. Math is 33.78% versus 42.93% statewide, and science fell sharply from 47.22% (above state) to 37.84% (below state) in a single year — a swing that may reflect small cohort sizes. Chronic absenteeism is 20.0%, higher than the district's 14.6% and the state's 17.3%. For context, the school spends $16,950 per student, has a 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio, and 34.19% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
