Summary:
High schools in the Rib Lake School District come down to a single campus: Rib Lake High, which serves grades 9–12 in the small northern Wisconsin community of Rib Lake. With 149 students enrolled, it is the only high school option in the district, so the most useful comparisons for families are against district and state averages rather than against other local high schools.
Overall, Rib Lake High performs well above state averages on most measures. It ranked 153 of 533 schools in 2025–2026, placing in the 71st percentile with 4 stars, after a jump from the 49th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024. The Rib Lake School District overall ranks 64 of 432, in the 85th percentile with 4 stars. The graduation rate is 96.5%, above the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate is 0.0%, below the state's 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, far below the state's 17.3%, though above the district's 4.6%. In 2025–2026, students scored above the state in Social Studies (60.53% proficient vs. 48.25%), English Language Arts (54.29% vs. 48.47%), and Science (54.29% vs. 43.2%).
The clear area of concern is Mathematics, where proficiency fell from 50% in 2024–2025 to 37.14% in 2025–2026, now 5.79 points below the state's 42.93%. Families should also note that in 2025–2026 the district edged slightly above the school in ELA and Science, while the school stayed slightly above the district in Math. For context, Rib Lake High has a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, $16,819 in per-student spending, and 44.3% free/reduced lunch participation.
