Summary:
High Schools located in Elk Mound Area School District consist of a single school: Elk Mound High, a 9–12 campus in Elk Mound, Wisconsin serving 348 students. Because it is the district's only high school, every high-school test result reported for the district matches the school exactly, so there is no second school to compare against. The district itself ranks 87th of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars, and per-student spending is $13,906 with a student-teacher ratio of 13.3.
Elk Mound High posts exceptionally strong outcome metrics for 2024–2025: a 100.0% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and 5.9% chronic absenteeism, roughly one-third of Wisconsin's 17.3% rate. Mathematics is its most consistent academic strength, with 55.42% of 10th graders proficient in 2024–2025 and 55.79% in 2025–2026 — about 13 percentage points above the state each year. English Language Arts and Social Studies also beat state averages in both years, and Science was 10.80 points above state in 2024–2025.
The concern is the most recent year. Science proficiency fell to 38.95% in 2025–2026, which is 4.25 points below the state and a 15.27-point year-over-year drop — the largest swing in the data. ELA also declined 7.61 points to 52.63%, still above the state's 48.47% but by a much thinner margin. Social Studies slipped slightly to 49.37%, just 1.12 points above state. Reflecting this, the school's rank fell to 200th of 533, a 62nd percentile and 3 stars, down from 79th percentile and 4 stars. Families should note the strong outcomes data covers 2024–2025, while the academic dip appears in 2025–2026.
