Summary:
Winter School District has exactly one high school, Winter High, serving grades 9–12 with 72 students in the small northern Wisconsin community of Winter, WI. Because it is the district's only high school, the school's results and the district's results are identical on the reported assessments, and its small size means a handful of students can move a percentage noticeably from year to year.
Parents should note the real strengths first. Winter High reports a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for 2024–2025, both better than the state's 92.0% and 1.1%. Social Studies performance on the Forward Exam sits close to the state average: 46.15% proficient in 2025–2026 against 48.25% statewide, a gap of about 2 points, and 46.67% versus 47.67% the year before. In short, students are completing school and performing near state levels in Social Studies.
Challenges are concentrated in ACT proficiency and attendance. Winter High's proficiency is 38.89% in English Language Arts, 27.78% in Mathematics, and 33.33% in Science, compared with state rates of 48.47%, 42.93%, and 43.20% — Mathematics shows the widest gap at 15.15 points. Chronic absenteeism is 18.6%, above the state's 17.3% and well above the district's 10.8%. Per-student spending is $25,322, the student-teacher ratio is 12.5:1, and 58.33% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's state rank percentile has drifted from 49 to 37 to 32 in the reported years, while holding 2 stars each time.
