Summary:
High schools located in the Port Edwards School District are served by one school, John Edwards High, a grades 9–12 campus at 801 2nd St in Port Edwards, WI, with 144 students. The district overall ranks 298 of 432 schools, in the 31st percentile with 2 stars, while this high school is the only school that supplies high school data in this extract. Because it is the sole high school, its results are also the district’s high school results.
John Edwards High’s clearest strengths are completion outcomes: a 100.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025, equal to the district and 8.0 points above the state’s 92.0%, plus a 0.7% dropout rate, lower than the district’s 0.9% and the state’s 1.1%. Social Studies is the strongest subject, with 62.5% proficiency in 2025–2026, 14.25 points above the state’s 48.25% and up 7.24 points from the prior year. Math also stayed slightly above the state in 2025–2026 at 43.75% versus 42.93%, though it fell from 53.13% in 2024–2025. The school spends $15,346 per student, has an 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio, and 48.61% of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch.
Parents should watch several trends. The school’s rank percentile dropped from 82 in 2023–2024 to 62 in 2024–2025 to 57 in 2025–2026, and stars fell from 4 to 3. In 2025–2026, ELA was 43.75% versus the state’s 48.47%, and Science was 37.5% versus the state’s 43.2%; both subjects declined year over year. Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, better than the state’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 8.4%. With only 144 students, small cohort changes can shift percentages sharply, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year.
