Summary:
Schools in the Tigerton School District consist of just two campuses serving about 246 students: Tigerton Elementary, which serves PK–5 with 121 students, and Tigerton High, which serves grades 6–12 with 125 students and houses the middle grades as well. The district overall is ranked 365th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 16th percentile with 1 star — a district-wide figure that masks a sharp split between the two schools.
Tigerton Elementary is the district's standout and its most improved school, climbing from the 20th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. Its 2025–26 results beat the state in several areas: 4th grade social studies at 88.89% proficient vs. 65.51% statewide, 3rd grade math at 69.23% vs. 54.75%, 4th grade science at 66.67% vs. 53.46%, and 3rd grade ELA at 61.54% vs. 52.08%. Every tested elementary subject and grade improved year over year. The weak spot is 5th grade math, where 33.33% were proficient compared with 51.81% statewide, though that too improved from 30% the prior year. The elementary spends $19,270 per student with a 12.1 student-teacher ratio.
Tigerton High remains academically low-performing, sitting at the 20th percentile with 1 star and drifting down from the 27th to the 22nd to the 20th percentile since 2020–2021. The largest gaps are ACT Mathematics at 13.33% proficient vs. 42.93% statewide, 8th grade science at 23.08% vs. 51.86%, 6th grade ELA at 25% vs. 54.95%, and ACT Science at 20% vs. 43.20%. Bright spots include 7th grade math at 50% vs. 55.67%, ACT ELA at 46.67% vs. 48.47%, and 7th grade ELA, which improved sharply. Non-academic indicators are comparatively strong: a 90.9% graduation rate vs. 92.0% statewide, a 0.9% dropout rate vs. 1.1%, and 12.8% chronic absenteeism vs. 17.3% statewide. The high school spends $17,682 per student with a 10.1 student-teacher ratio. With cohorts this small, individual percentages can swing on a few students, but the elementary's broad improvement across subjects is a more credible trend.
