Summary

Augusta High is a small rural public high school serving 144 students in grades 9–12 in Augusta, Wisconsin, within the Augusta School District. In 2025–26, the school ranked 417th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (22nd percentile, 1 star), a sharp drop from 2023–24 when it was 54th percentile with 3 stars; the district overall ranks 195th of 432 (55th percentile, 3 stars). Compared with nearby schools, Augusta High has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (53.47%), the lowest student-teacher ratio (7.5), and the highest per-student spending ($24,424).

Current achievement is mixed. In 2025–26, ACT math proficiency was 42.5%, essentially at the state average of 42.93%, but other subjects lagged: social studies 30.3% vs. 48.25% statewide, ELA 25% vs. 48.47%, and science 25% vs. 43.2%. Just two years earlier, 2023–24 ELA was 51.61% and social studies 46.15%, both above state averages, so the recent decline is notable. Attendance and graduation also show stress: the 2024–25 graduation rate was 82.5% (district 86.0%, state 92.0%), dropout was 1.4% (district 0.7%, state 1.1%), and chronic absenteeism was 25.0% (district 15.4%, state 17.3%).

Subgroup results are uneven. Special education students ranked 57th of 333 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26—far above the school’s overall rank—while male students were 22nd percentile, female students 21st percentile, and low-SES students 27th percentile, all 1 star. Female and low-SES groups had been 4-star groups in 2023–24. A striking local comparison is Wildlands Charter School, only 0.11 miles away in the same district: it ranked 112th of 533 (79th percentile, 4 stars), with a 100% graduation rate, 0% dropout, 0% chronic absenteeism, and higher ELA, science, and social studies scores, despite spending far less per student ($13,597) and having a higher student-teacher ratio (14.3). The data does not explain why, and the schools may serve different students and grade spans, but the contrast, along with high spending and very small classes not translating into strong overall proficiency, makes Augusta High’s recent results important to monitor.

Open Quote All three of my children received excellent educations here, and had tons of opportunities to be in extra-curricular activities, such as mock trial, forensics, NHS, year book, etc. as well as music and sports. All of them graduated from college and have good paying jobs, one has a masters and another is working on her masters program. Close Quote
