Summary

Blair-Taylor Middle/High is a rural public school in Blair, Wisconsin, serving 295 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Blair-Taylor School District, which ranks 361st of 432 Wisconsin districts (16th percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranks 419th of 533 for 2025–26 (21st percentile, 1 star), and its history is volatile: it reached 232nd of 431 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24, but fell as low as 377th of 390 (3rd percentile, 0 stars) in 2020–21.

Its strongest results are in completion and resources. The graduation rate was 97.8% in 2024–25 and has stayed between 95.7% and 100% over the last five reported years, with a dropout rate of 0.0% — above Wisconsin's state graduation rate of 89.5%–92.0%. The student-teacher ratio of 10.9 is the lowest among nearby schools, and per-student spending is $17,793. Middle-grade English language arts is a bright spot: 6th grade scored 57.14% and 7th grade 59.09%, both above state, while 8th-grade social studies (65.79%) and 10th-grade social studies (48.48%) were at or slightly above state.

College readiness and middle-school math and science are the main concerns. On the 2025–26 10th-grade ACT, Blair-Taylor posted 24.24% in ELA, 30.30% in math and 18.18% in science — the lowest ELA and science proficiency among nearby schools and well below state (48.47% ELA, 43.20% science). That is a sharp drop from 2023–24, when all three subjects were 48.65%. Eighth-grade math (34.21%) and science (42.11%) were also below state, continuing a science gap seen every recent year. Chronic absenteeism of 16.4% beats the state's 17.3% but trails the district's 12.9% and far exceeds Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High (1.6%), Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High (3.7%) and Melrose-Mindoro Junior/Senior High (6.5%). Notably, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School in Alma Center serves a higher-poverty population yet reached 53.33% ACT ELA and 40.00% science, so resources and demographics alone do not explain the gap.
