Summary:
Flambeau School District in Wisconsin has one public high school, Flambeau High, serving grades 9–12 in Tony, WI, with 129 students. Because it is the only high school in the district, there is no peer school to compare it with locally; the meaningful comparisons are to district and state averages. The school’s latest 2025–2026 rank is 148th of 533, 72nd percentile, 4 stars, a sharp rise from 2024–2025 (306th of 431, 29th percentile, 1 star) and 2023–2024 (298th of 431, 31st percentile, 2 stars). The district itself is ranked 325th of 432, 25th percentile, 1 star, so parents should be cautious about comparing the district rank with the high school rank, as they appear to use different ranking pools or methods.
Academically, 2025–2026 test results show strengths in English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies, with ELA ACT proficiency at 62.86% vs state 48.47%, Science ACT at 51.43% vs 43.20%, and Social Studies Forward Exam at 52.38% vs 48.25%. Mathematics ACT is the exception: 40.00% proficient, slightly below the state’s 42.93%, though up from 31.43% in 2024–2025. Compared with 2024–2025, ELA rose 25.72 points, Science rose 14.29 points, and Math rose 8.57 points; Social Studies declined 7.08 points but remained above the state average. ELA and Science flipped from below state in 2024–2025 to above state in 2025–2026.
Non-academic outcomes lag state benchmarks. In 2024–2025, graduation was 88.0% vs state 92.0%, dropout was 2.3% vs state 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism was 22.5% vs state 17.3%. The school context is small and relatively well-staffed: 129 students, an 8.2 student-teacher ratio, $19,538 per-student spending, and 51.94% free/reduced lunch. With small enrollment, year-to-year percentages can be volatile, so a few students can shift proficiency rates. Overall, Flambeau High shows a promising recent academic profile, but sustained improvement will depend on addressing attendance, dropout, and graduation gaps.
