Summary:
High schools in the Greenfield School District come down to a single campus: Greenfield High, serving grades 9–12 with 1,140 students in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Because the district operates only one high school, every high-school figure reported for the district is identical to the school's own figure — these numbers describe one building, not a district-wide pattern. The district's overall rating (350th of 432 statewide, 19th percentile, 1 star) spans all grade levels, while its high-school results rest entirely on this school.
The school's profile splits cleanly in two. On completion, it shines: a 95.1% graduation rate sits 3.1 points above the state's 92.0%, and the 0.7% dropout rate is under half the state's 1.1%. On achievement, it lags — proficiency is below the state in all four tested subjects. Math is the most persistent weakness at 26.52%, a 16.41-point gap and essentially unchanged from 26.62% the year before, meaning roughly three in four students are not proficient. Science showed the sharpest swing, falling 8.23 points to 28.41% (−14.79 to state). ELA slipped 5.45 points to 35.61%, while social studies was the only gain, rising 6.98 points to 43.55% and narrowing its gap to just 4.70 points. In rankings, the school slid from the 37th percentile (2023–2024) to 18th (2024–2025) and back to 26th (2025–2026) — though the comparison pool grew from 431 to 533 schools, so percentile is the fair basis.
Engagement is the biggest red flag: chronic absenteeism of 20.2% is 7.2 points above the district's own 13.0% and 2.9 points above the state's 17.3% — about one in five students, and a likely contributor to the proficiency gaps. Context matters too: 46.67% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,505 (roughly $17.7 million total), and the student–teacher ratio is 14.2 (about 80 teachers). The bottom line for families: strong graduation and low dropout, but weak and flat math, a real science decline, high absenteeism, and below-state results in every subject — with social studies showing that improvement is possible.
