Summary:
High schools in the Oconto Unified School District in Wisconsin consist of two schools sharing the same address on Superior Ave in Oconto: Oconto High, serving grades 9–12 with 299 students, and Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy, serving grades 5–12 with only 13 students. Together they enroll 312 students, and Oconto High accounts for about 95.8% of that total.
The two schools serve very different populations and post very different outcomes. Oconto High reports a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.3% dropout rate for 2024–2025, compared with the district's 97.0% and 92.0% statewide for graduation and 0.6% district and 1.1% state for dropout. Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy reports a 66.6% graduation rate and an 8.3% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism is 16.4% at Oconto High, below the state's 17.3% but slightly above the district's 15.4%, while the Academy's is 72.7%. The Academy also has a higher-need profile, with 76.92% of students receiving free or reduced lunch versus 41.47% at Oconto High. Oconto High spends $16,676 per student; the Academy spends $11,505.
Academically, Oconto High's clearest strength is social studies, where it exceeded the state in both years — 58.43% vs. 48.25% in 2025–2026 and 50% vs. 47.67% in 2024–2025 — while math and science stayed below the state in both years. Its rank history rebounded to 3 stars / 59th percentile in 2025–2026 after 2 stars / 37th percentile in 2024–2025, even though the district overall is rated 1 star / 25th percentile. No test scores or rank history are listed for Northeast Wisconsin Learning Academy, and because it enrolls only 13 students, its percentages can shift dramatically with one or two students, so comparisons should be read cautiously.
