High Schools in Lake Geneva-Genoa City Union High School School District

The Lake Geneva-Genoa City Union High School School District in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, includes two high schools serving grades 9–12: Badger High and New Visions Charter School.

Badger High is the much larger school, enrolling 1,240 students, or about 97.6% of the district’s high school enrollment. New Visions Charter School enrolls 31 students, about 2.4%. Badger High is the stronger academic performer in the available data: its 2025–2026 school rank is 170th of 533, 68th percentile, with 3 stars, and its ACT proficiency is above Wisconsin averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Its graduation rate is 96.7%, above the state’s 92.0%, and its dropout rate is 0.4%, below the state’s 1.1%. Its main weak spot is chronic absenteeism at 20.0%, slightly above the state’s 17.3%. New Visions Charter School has a very different profile: its 2025–2026 rank is 474th of 533, 11th percentile, 1 star. It reports a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, but also a 3.1% dropout rate and very low test proficiency—0% proficient in ACT ELA, Mathematics, and Science in 2025–2026, and 37.5% in Social Studies. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 48.39%, higher than Badger High’s 26.69%, and its per-student spending is $19,406, higher than Badger High’s $16,280.

For parents, the key takeaway is that Badger High offers the district’s strongest combination of academic performance, graduation, and dropout outcomes, while its biggest concern is chronic absenteeism. New Visions Charter School stands out for its 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, but its low reported test proficiency, higher dropout rate, higher poverty indicators, and higher per-pupil spending should be viewed with caution because it has only 31 students, so one student can change rates sharply. The district’s overall rating is 324th of 432, 25th percentile, 1 star, but Badger High’s individual school rank is much stronger at 170th of 533, 68th percentile, 3 stars. Because Badger High enrolls 97.6% of high school students, district averages mostly reflect Badger High. New Visions Charter School’s student-teacher ratio is not reported.
