Summary:
The sole high school in the Valders Area School District is Valders High, serving roughly 291 students in grades 9–12 in the Valders, Wisconsin area. Because there is only one high school here, the most useful comparisons are between Valders High and the district, the state, and the school's own recent years.
The strongest part of the profile is school climate and completion. The graduation rate is 95.4%, above Wisconsin's 92.0%, and the dropout rate is 0.3% versus 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 7.1%, less than half the state's 17.3% and slightly below the district's 8.1%. Valders High reports $17,099 in per-student spending, an 11.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 23.02% free or reduced lunch participation; no state or district benchmarks for those three figures were available, so they are best read as context.
Academic results are mixed by subject. In 2025–2026, ACT Mathematics proficiency is 50%, about 7.1 percentage points above the state's 42.93% and up from 42.31% the year before. Social Studies is 50% versus 48.25% statewide. Science is a weaker area at 37.93%, below the state's 43.2%, and it was also slightly below state in 2024–2025. English Language Arts swung from 56.41%, above the state's 48.62%, to 44.83%, below the state's 48.47% — an 11.58 percentage-point drop worth watching, though small cohorts can make year-to-year scores noisy. The school's rank rose from the 46th percentile with 2 stars in 2023–2024 to the 54th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, while the district's current rank is at the 30th percentile with 2 stars.
