Summary:
Pittsville School District is a small district in central Wisconsin with just one high school: Pittsville High, located at 5407 First Ave, Pittsville, WI 54466, serving grades 9–12 with 175 students. Because it is the only high school in the district, there is no side-by-side school comparison to make — instead, this is a profile of Pittsville High against district and state benchmarks. The district as a whole is ranked 250 of 432 in Wisconsin (42nd percentile, 2 stars), while the high school's most recent ranking is stronger: 235 of 533 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, a rebound from a 1-star, 26th-percentile year in 2024–2025.
Academically, results are mixed but improving in most subjects. In 2025–2026, ACT Science proficiency was 48.84% (above the state's 43.20%) and ACT Mathematics was 44.19% (above the state's 42.93%), while English Language Arts was 46.51% (slightly below the state's 48.47%) and Social Studies was 44.44% (below the state's 48.25%). Compared with 2024–2025, Science rose 17.13 points, Math rose 12.48 points, and English Language Arts rose 7.49 points. Social Studies moved the other way, falling 13.06 points from 57.5%, when it had outperformed the state by nearly 10 points. Math, Science, and English Language Arts are the areas to watch for continued growth, while Social Studies is the clearest reversal.
Non-academic outcomes are a real strength. Pittsville High reports a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for 2024–2025, both better than the state averages of 92% and 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 11.5%, below Wisconsin's 17.3% but above the district's 9.8%, making it a relative watch item. Per-student spending is $18,978 with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, and 32.57% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With only 175 students, a single student can shift a grade-level percentage noticeably, which helps explain the large year-to-year swings in test scores and rankings.
