Summary:
The Kiel Area School District in Wisconsin contains two high schools serving grades 9–12: Kiel High, with 375 students, and Kiel eSchool, with 63 students — 438 high schoolers in all. Both share the same district rating of 189th of 432 districts (56th percentile, 3 stars), but their individual school results differ sharply.
Kiel High is the academic anchor of this group. Its 2025–2026 rank is 175th of 533 (67th percentile, 3 stars). ACT proficiency beats the state in English Language Arts (62.07% vs 48.47%) and Science (54.02% vs 43.20%), sits slightly below in Mathematics (42.53% vs 42.93%), and below in Social Studies (43.59% vs 48.25%). Graduation is 98.1% against the state's 92.0%; dropout is 0.8% versus district 1.7% and state 1.1%; chronic absenteeism is 4.1%, well under the state's 17.3%. One caution: math proficiency fell from 57.33% the prior year to 42.53%, and the school's rank slipped from 102nd of 431 (4 stars) to 175th of 533 (3 stars).
Kiel eSchool posts a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, both above district and state figures — yet it also reports a 9.6% dropout rate, roughly nine times the state's 1.1%. Its 2025–2026 rank is 436th of 533 (18th percentile, 1 star), and ACT proficiency is 25% in ELA, math, and science, with 40% in social studies. With only 63 students, these percentages rest on small numbers and should be read with caution. Kiel eSchool also serves more students from low-income backgrounds (free/reduced lunch 30.16% vs 18.67%).
