Summary

Chequamegon High is a public high school in Park Falls, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 196 students as part of the Chequamegon School District in a small rural community in the northern part of the state. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 244th of 533 Wisconsin high schools — the 54th percentile, or 3 stars — while its district ranks 233rd of 432 statewide (46th percentile, 2 stars). The school's rating has been fairly steady at 3 stars in recent years, though it has swung more widely over the past decade.

Among nearby schools, Chequamegon currently leads: Phillips High sits at the 33rd percentile (2 stars) and Butternut High at the 14th percentile (1 star). Still, Phillips and Butternut posted stronger rankings in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, so this year's edge is not a long-running gap. Chequamegon's 96.3% graduation rate and 0.5% dropout rate in 2024–2025 beat the state averages of 92.0% and 1.1%, though Phillips graduated 98.1% with no dropouts. One concern: chronic absenteeism jumped to 23.4% in 2024–2025 from 8.1% the year before — far below Phillips' 42.3%, but now above the state's 17.3% and Butternut's 16.9%. Per-student spending is $19,302, above Phillips' $15,803.

Test results are mixed. Science is a bright spot at 55.81% proficiency on the 10th-grade ACT, 12.61 points above the state and up from 29.17% in 2022–2023. Math (44.19%) and Social Studies (52.63%) also exceed state averages. ELA is the weak point, falling to 30.23% — 18.24 points below the state and 12.95 points below Phillips. The school's low-income students perform notably well, ranking in the 95th percentile (5 stars) in 2024–2025 and the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026. Because the school is small, single-year swings should be read with caution.
