Summary:
Stratford School District in Stratford, Wisconsin contains exactly one high school, Stratford High, which serves grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 277 students, so comparisons for families here are best made against state averages and prior years rather than against other local high schools. The district itself ranks 77th of 432 in Wisconsin, placing it in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars.
Stratford High stands out most for completion and engagement outcomes: a 98.4% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 3.6% versus 17.3% — about one-fifth the state rate. Test proficiency was above the state average in every listed subject in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and the school earned 5 stars in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025. Additional context: 22.74% free/reduced lunch, $13,963 per-student spending, and a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio.
Proficiency did decline, though. The school's average across the four listed subjects fell by roughly 8.45 percentage points, with Mathematics down 11.56 pp, Science 10.09 pp, ELA 7.08 pp, and Social Studies 5.05 pp. The ranking softened alongside it, moving from 32nd of 431 and 37th of 431 to 105th of 533 — still a strong 80th percentile with 4 stars, but no longer in the top 10%. With only 277 students, year-to-year swings should be expected, and even after the drop, results remained above state averages.
