Summary
Rocket Academy is a very small public high school in Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, serving grades 11 and 12 with just 23 students — the smallest enrollment of any school in this comparison set — as part of the Cedar Grove-Belgium Area School District, and it shares its address with Cedar Grove-Belgium High.
On paper, the school's results are mixed and hard to read. Its only available ranking year, 2025-2026, places it 481st of 533 Wisconsin high schools — the 10th percentile, with 0 stars. Its 10th-grade proficiency results are in the low teens in every subject, roughly one-quarter of the district's rate and well below the state. Graduation is 90.0%, below both the district (98.7%) and the state (92.0%), and its 3.3% dropout rate is the highest in the group. At the same time, chronic absenteeism is 0.0%, the best in the comparison set, and free/reduced lunch is 17.39%, one of the lowest. Per-student spending is $27,745, the highest in the group, with a student-teacher ratio of 23.0.
The most striking comparison sits inside the same building: Cedar Grove-Belgium High ranks in the 87th percentile with a 100% graduation rate and 70.97% ELA proficiency, in the same district and community. Nearby, Oostburg High, Kohler High, and Port Washington High all post far higher proficiency at roughly 55% of Rocket Academy's per-student spending. But with 23 students, one student equals about 4.3 percentage points, so the dropout and absenteeism figures may reflect one or two individuals; the test rows are also reported at grade 10, even though the school serves grades 11-12. The honest takeaway is that Rocket Academy is highly volatile and not comparable at face value to the comprehensive high schools around it.
