Summary:
South Shore School District in Wisconsin contains just one high school, South Shore Junior/Senior High, which serves grades 7 through 12 and enrolls 91 students in the small northern community of Port Wing. Because it is the only high school in the district, every comparison below is between this school and statewide averages rather than between schools in the area.
The school's most striking recent change is its statewide ranking, which climbed from the 62nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 86th percentile in 2025–26 — a jump of 24 percentile points and a move from 3 stars to 4 stars. Tenth-grade ACT results in 2025–26 are especially strong: 70% proficiency in English language arts versus 48.47% statewide, 60% in math versus 42.93%, and 70% in science versus 43.2%. Chronic absenteeism is also lower than both the district and the state, at 12.4% compared with 18.4% and 17.3%. In 2024–25 the school exceeded the state in nearly every Forward Exam subject, including 8th grade ELA at 85.71% versus 53.97%.
Results are more mixed in 2025–26. Forward Exam scores came in above the state in 8th grade ELA, social studies, and science, but below the state in 7th grade ELA, 8th grade math, and 10th grade social studies, with 7th grade math essentially even. The dropout rate, at 2.1%, is nearly double the state's 1.1%, and the graduation rate of 91.3% is slightly below the state's 92.0%. With only 91 students in grades 7–12, one or two students can swing these percentages, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution. Free/reduced lunch is 46.15%, per-student spending is $24,569, and the student-teacher ratio is 9.4.
