Summary
Belleville High is a public high school in Belleville, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with about 275 students as part of the Belleville School District in a small community near Madison. In 2025–2026 it ranked 62nd out of 533 Wisconsin high schools (88th percentile, 4 stars), placing it among the top 12% statewide, while the district ranked 34th of 432 districts (92nd percentile, 5 stars). Its ranking history has been uneven: after a dip to the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024, it rebounded to the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025 and 88th in 2025–2026, its best showing since 2017–2018.
Test scores sit above state averages in all four tested subjects. Social Studies is a standout at 69.8% proficient versus 48.3% statewide, with only Mount Horeb High (74.1%) and New Glarus High (74.0%) scoring higher nearby. ELA (64.3%) and Math (55.7%) also beat the state, and Belleville outperforms Oregon High, Verona Area High, Evansville High, Albany High, and Monticello High in most subjects, though New Glarus and Mount Horeb remain ahead. The school is also unusually effective with student subgroups: female students ranked 8th of 461 schools, special education students 35th of 333, and low-income students climbed from the 27th percentile to the 73rd in one year.
The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 17.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, more than double the district's 9.7% and above Mount Horeb (9.4%) and Oregon (13.6%), up sharply from 5.1% in 2020–2021. Completion outcomes remain excellent, with a 97.2% graduation rate and a 0.3% dropout rate. With 275 students, a 13.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and $15,879 in per-student spending, Belleville High offers a small, well-resourced setting; improving attendance is the biggest opportunity for further gains.
