Summary:
The Ellsworth Community School District in Wisconsin is served by one high school, Ellsworth High, which enrolls 538 students in grades 9–12. Because it is the district’s only high school, school-level and district-level figures for graduation, dropout, and test scores are identical; the district ranks 176 of 432 in the state, placing it at the 59th percentile with 3 stars.
Completion outcomes are the school’s strongest feature. Ellsworth High graduates 97.9% of students, 5.9 percentage points above the 92.0% state rate, and its dropout rate of 0.1% is roughly one-tenth of Wisconsin’s 1.1%. Social studies is the clearest academic bright spot: 60.83% of 10th graders were proficient in 2025–2026 and 58.06% in 2024–2025, both more than 10 points above the state. Science also beat the state in both years, though the margin narrowed from 7.86 to 3.95 points. ACT English language arts and math, however, slipped from above state to below it; math fell 8.80 points in one year to 38.21%, versus 42.93% statewide, while state ACT scores barely moved — pointing to a local or cohort-specific shift rather than statewide change.
Attendance is a mixed signal: chronic absenteeism of 14.7% beats the state’s 17.3% but exceeds the district’s 9.6%, which includes lower-grade schools, making high school attendance a relative local concern. Ellsworth High has held 3 stars for three reported years, but its percentile eased from 67 to 61, still above the state median. About 25.84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, spending is $14,875 per student, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.9:1, though the dataset offers no state comparisons for those measures. In short: strong completion and social studies results, with ACT math and English and attendance worth watching.
