Summary:
Rice Lake Area School District in Wisconsin has just one high school serving grades 9–12: Rice Lake High, located at 30 S Wisconsin Ave in Rice Lake and enrolling 674 students. Because it is the district's only high school, school-level and district-level high school figures are often identical, though district-wide metrics such as chronic absenteeism also include other grade levels.
The school's strongest results are in completion and in some subject areas. The 2024–2025 graduation rate is 98.3%, well above Wisconsin's 92.0%, and the dropout rate is just 0.1% versus the state's 1.1%. In 2025–2026, Science proficiency was 45.63% (state: 43.20%) and Social Studies was 48.94% (state: 48.25%), and both subjects also beat the state the year before. Rice Lake High has earned 3 stars in each of the last three reported years, ranking 241 of 533 schools at the 55th percentile in 2025–2026 — stronger than the district's overall 2-star, 46th-percentile standing.
There are clear concerns as well. Chronic absenteeism was 20.6% in 2024–2025, above both the district's 13.4% and the state's 17.3%. English Language Arts proficiency has stayed below state in both years (46.50% and 46.25%, against 48.62% and 48.47%). All four tested subjects declined year over year: Social Studies fell from 55.28% to 48.94%, Mathematics dropped sharply from 47.77% to 41.88% (moving from above state to below it), and Science slipped from 48.41% to 45.63%. For context, 33.23% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,304, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.4.
