Summary:
Seymour Community School District has exactly one high school, Seymour High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 590 students in Seymour, Wisconsin. Because it is the district’s only high school, the district’s high-school figures for graduation, dropout, and reported tests are the same as the school’s. The district’s overall rank is 293 out of 432 schools, or the 32nd percentile, with 2 stars. Seymour High’s ranking improved from 1 star and the 26th percentile in 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026, when it ranked 308 out of 533. Its graduation rate was 95.8%, above the state’s 92.0%, and its dropout rate was 0.1%, below the state’s 1.1%. However, chronic absenteeism was 24.9%, compared with 17.3% for the district and state—about 1 in 4 students.
Test results were mixed. In 2025–2026, Seymour High was below the state in all four reported areas: Social Studies 44.92% vs. 48.25%, English Language Arts 42.75% vs. 48.47%, Mathematics 35.88% vs. 42.93%, and Science 41.98% vs. 43.20%. Compared with 2024–2025, Social Studies had the largest gain, rising 9.81 points from 35.11%, and ELA improved 4.29 points from 38.46%. Mathematics declined 3.35 points from 39.23% and is now the largest gap below the state. Science slipped from 45.38%, which was 1.96 points above the state in 2024–2025, to 1.22 points below the state in 2025–2026.
For parents, the main strengths are strong completion outcomes, low dropout, ranking improvement, and recent gains in Social Studies and ELA. The main concerns are chronic absenteeism that is well above district and state levels, and Mathematics proficiency that is below state and declining. Science also fell below the state after being a relative strength. Additional context: 29.15% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,711, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8. These figures suggest a school with solid completion results but clear academic and attendance challenges to watch.
