Summary:
The Dodgeville School District in southwestern Wisconsin has only one high school, Dodgeville High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 367 students. Because there is a single high school, district-level high school results and school-level results are the same here. For context, the district as a whole is ranked 170th of 432 Wisconsin districts (61st percentile, 3 stars), while the high school itself has earned 4 stars in each of the last three reporting years.
Dodgeville High's completion and attendance outcomes are the strongest part of its profile. Its graduation rate is 100.0%, compared with 92.0% statewide, its dropout rate is 0.2% versus the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism is 1.1% against a state rate of 17.3%. Other context: 29.16% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,858, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.9:1. In the latest 2025–2026 tests (10th grade), social studies proficiency is 68.18% (state 48.25%), science 48.78% (state 43.20%), English language arts 51.22% (state 48.47%), and mathematics 40.24% (state 42.93%) — the only subject where the school trails Wisconsin.
Year-over-year movement is unusually large by subject. Social studies rose 15.09 points, science stayed nearly flat (+0.13 points), while ELA fell 13.64 points and math fell 20.57 points — a reversal from 2024–2025, when math was 60.81% and 18.08 points above the state. Those swings likely reflect cohort or testing differences rather than one uniform trend. Still, the latest ranking is 149th of 533 schools, in the 72nd percentile, down from the 80th percentile the prior year. Parents should watch math and ELA, while noting the sustained strengths in attendance, completion, social studies, and science.
