Summary

Boscobel High is a 9–12 school in rural Boscobel, Wisconsin, serving 182 students as part of the Boscobel Area School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 416th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (22nd percentile, 1 star), up from the 15th percentile in 2024–2025 and 9th percentile in 2023–2024. The district ranks 295th of 432 districts (32nd percentile, 2 stars), so the high school is below its district’s overall standing. Its 2025–2026 10th-grade proficiency rates are below state averages in every tested subject: social studies 34.09% vs. 48.25%, English language arts 38.1% vs. 48.47%, math 23.81% vs. 42.93%, and science 30.95% vs. 43.2%.

Compared with nearby high schools, Boscobel High is in the lower academic tier. Fennimore High is the strongest nearby performer, and Lancaster High, River Ridge High, and Riverdale High generally outperform it. Its ELA and math proficiency are lower than every listed nearby school except North Crawford High; science is lower than every listed nearby school except North Crawford High and Seneca High. Chronic absenteeism is a major strength: 3.5% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin’s 17.3% and lower than many higher-performing neighbors; only Wauzeka High was lower, at 1.3%. Graduation (93.7%) is above the state’s 92.0%, and the dropout rate (0.5%) is below the state’s 1.1%, though several nearby schools had 100% graduation rates. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate (48.35%) is higher than most nearby schools.

The school’s biggest academic need is math: proficiency stayed around 24–27% for four years while state math rose from 29.44% to 42.93%. ELA and science also trail state and regional peers. Subgroup results show female students at the 31st percentile, male students at the 16th, low-socioeconomic students at the 29th, and special education students at the 22nd, suggesting targeted support for male and special education students. Per-student spending was $16,552 (below the nearby average), with a small student-teacher ratio of 11.5. Spending rose from $10,645 in 2021–2022 to $16,552 in 2024–2025 without commensurate test-score gains. Strengths are attendance, graduation, and dropout prevention; the next step is turning engagement into academic growth.
