Summary:
The Big Foot Union High School School District in Walworth, Wisconsin, is a single-school district serving grades 9–12. Its one campus, Big Foot High, enrolls 437 students, with 33.18% eligible for free or reduced lunch, spending of $18,905 per student, and a 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio. Because the district contains only this one high school — no elementary or middle schools — every district-level measure of graduation, dropout, attendance, and test performance is identical to the school's own results. Parents can read district figures as a direct reflection of Big Foot High.
The strongest results are in completion and engagement, where Big Foot High outperforms Wisconsin across the board: a 99.1% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 8.5% versus 17.3% — roughly half the state rate. Academics also improved sharply from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. ACT English Language Arts climbed from 34.55% to 47.56% (+13.01 points) and Mathematics from 29.09% to 40.24% (+11.15 points), while ACT Science rose to 48.78%, which is 5.58 points above the state's 43.20% and now the school's academic bright spot.
Two areas still lag. Forward Exam Social Studies was 39.13% against a state rate of 48.25%, down 2.25 points year-over-year and the only subject to decline. ELA (47.56% vs. 48.47%) and Mathematics (40.24% vs. 42.93%) remain slightly below state but far closer than before. Overall, the school ranks 276 of 533, the 48th percentile with 2 stars, up from the 20th percentile and 1 star the prior year. With only 437 students, year-to-year swings rest on a small testing cohort, so the gains are encouraging but worth watching.
