Summary:
The high schools located in the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District come down to one option: Wittenberg-Birnamwood High, a grades 9-12 campus with 343 students at 400 W Grand Ave in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. It is the only high school in the district, so high-school-level and district high-school figures generally match.
The school's recent academic record swings sharply between years. In 2024-2025 it ranked at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars and scored above the state in English language arts (58.14% proficient vs. 48.62%), mathematics (46.51% vs. 42.73%), and science (54.65% vs. 43.42%). In 2025-2026 it fell below the state in all four reported subjects — ELA 42.11% vs. 48.47%, math 31.58% vs. 42.93%, science 39.47% vs. 43.20%, and social studies 33.77% vs. 48.25% — and its rank dropped to 357th of 533, the 33rd percentile with 2 stars. Social studies was below the state in both years and is the largest current gap. Parents should note these are 10th-grade tests taken by a different cohort each year, so the shifts reflect cohort performance rather than individual student growth.
Other indicators are generally stronger than the state. The 2024-2025 graduation rate was 95.5% (state 92.0%) and the dropout rate 0.2% (state 1.1%). Chronic absenteeism was 15.4%, below the state's 17.3% but above the district average of 11.7%, suggesting attendance is a school-specific area to watch. Free/reduced lunch was 41.69%, per-student spending $14,294, and the student-teacher ratio 14.9. Separately, the district's own metadata shows an 18th percentile, 1-star district rating, which covers all grade levels and metrics and should not be read as the high school's rank. The school has shown it can outperform the state; the latest results make math, ELA, social studies, and attendance the priorities.
