Summary:
The Gibraltar Area School District in Wisconsin contains just one high school — Gibraltar High — which serves 175 students in grades 9–12 at 3924 State Highway 42 in Fish Creek, a small community on the Door County peninsula.
Because there is only one high school here, families are not choosing between campuses, but the school's results are worth understanding. Gibraltar High has ranked 26th of 533, 22nd of 431, and 24th of 431 in Wisconsin over the last three reported school years, placing it in the 94th–95th percentile and earning 5 stars each year. The Gibraltar Area School District is similarly ranked 32nd of 432 with 5 stars. Test proficiency in 10th grade is well above state averages in every reported subject: Social Studies at 78.05% (state 48.25%), English Language Arts at 77.14% (state 48.47%), Science at 62.86% (state 43.20%), and Mathematics at 60.00% (state 42.93%). That means the school beats the state by roughly 17 to 30 percentage points depending on the subject. Social Studies and ELA are the strongest areas; Mathematics is the lowest and the only subject that slipped year over year, from 62.22% to 60.00%.
Outcomes after senior year are equally strong: graduation is 100.0% and dropout 0.0%, versus state rates of 92.0% and 1.1%. The one clear watch item is chronic absenteeism, at 21.5% — above both the state's 17.3% and the district's 11.2%. Context matters here: with only 175 students, a handful of students can move percentages by several points, so small year-to-year changes deserve caution. The school also reports a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, $29,993 per-student spending, and 28.57% free/reduced lunch eligibility, though no state comparisons for these were provided. Overall, this is a small, well-resourced, top-ranked school with excellent completion and proficiency results, whose main challenge is attendance.
