Antigo High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in 8th-grade English Language Arts (38.39%), Mathematics (16.22%), and Science (32.43%) were all well below the state averages. The school's performance on the ACT assessment for 10th-grade students also lags behind the state averages. However, Antigo High School's four-year graduation rates have been relatively high, ranging from 90.3% to 93.9% in recent years, which is comparable to or slightly higher than the state average. Unfortunately, the school's dropout rates have been consistently higher than the state average.

Another area of concern for Antigo High School is the high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the percentage of chronically absent students ranging from 17.7% to 32.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.73% to 53.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. These factors may be contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance and the challenges it faces in engaging and retaining its student population.
