Academically, La Farge High faces challenges compared with the state. In 2025–2026, social studies proficiency was 40% versus 48.25% statewide; English language arts was 29.41% versus 48.47%; mathematics was 23.53% versus 42.93%; and science was 29.41% versus 43.20%.

Social studies and science improved year over year, while ELA declined. Graduation and attendance look stronger: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.3%, matching the district and slightly above the state’s 92.0%; the dropout rate was 0.0%, below the district’s 1.0% and state’s 1.1%; chronic absenteeism was 16.1%, below the state’s 17.3% but above the district’s 15.1%.
Rankings place the school in the lower portion of Wisconsin schools. The district is ranked 395th of 432, in the 9th percentile with 0 stars. La Farge High’s most recent rank is 430th of 533 for 2025–2026, in the 19th percentile with 1 star; prior ranks were 386th of 431 in 2024–2025 and 309th of 431 in 2023–2024. Resources are high per student: spending was $23,083 in 2024–2025, with a student-teacher ratio of 6.4, and about 62.12% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. With only 66 students, small changes in test results can reflect just one or two students, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously. Overall, the school shows solid completion and attendance indicators alongside below-state test proficiency and bottom-quintile rankings.
