Summary:
The Cedar Grove-Belgium Area School District in Wisconsin serves high school students at two schools — Cedar Grove-Belgium High (grades 9–12, enrollment 265) and Rocket Academy (grades 11–12, enrollment 23) — both located at 321 N 2nd St in Cedar Grove. The two schools present sharply different profiles, and understanding that contrast is the most important thing for families choosing between them.
Cedar Grove-Belgium High is the clear standout. It ranks 70 of 533 schools in 2025–2026 (87th percentile, 4 stars) and ranked in the 89th–93rd percentile in the two prior years. It posts a 100.0% graduation rate, a 0.7% dropout rate, and 7.0% chronic absenteeism — all better than the state's 92.0%, 1.1%, and 17.3%. Its ACT scores far exceed state levels in ELA (70.97% vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (72.58% vs. 42.93%), and Science (67.74% vs. 43.2%). The one warning sign is Social Studies on the Forward Exam, which fell from 63.49% to 40%, below the state's 48.25%.
Rocket Academy ranks 481 of 533 (10th percentile, 0 stars). Its graduation rate is 90.0% and dropout rate 3.3%, both worse than district and state, while chronic absenteeism is a striking 0.0%. ACT scores are uniformly low (12.5% ELA, 12.5% Math, 18.75% Science). It spends $27,745 per student — about 40.6% more than Cedar Grove-Belgium High's $19,730 — with a student-teacher ratio of 23.0 versus 12.1. With only 23 students, these figures are highly volatile and should be read as directional. Both schools have modest free/reduced-lunch rates (14.34% and 17.39%).
