Summary

Chippewa Falls High is a public school serving grades 9–12 with 1,451 students in the city of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, part of the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District. The district ranks 240th of 432 districts statewide (44th percentile), while the school ranked 267th of 533 high schools in 2025–2026 — the 50th percentile, squarely mid-pack. Its history shows a middle-of-the-road pattern with movement: 30th percentile in 2015–2016, up to the 54th–61st percentile in 2020–2022, down to the 41st–44th range in 2022–2024, and back to 50th in 2025–2026.

Among nearby schools, Chippewa Falls sits in the middle academically, behind Memorial High (91st percentile), Fall Creek High (87th), Altoona High (65th), North High (64th), and Elk Mound High (62nd), but ahead of Colfax High (47th), Bloomer High (38th), and Cadott High (33rd). Completion is a clear strength: a 96.1% graduation rate and 0.5% dropout rate beat state averages and top Memorial, North, and Altoona. Chronic absenteeism is the standout concern at 24.8%, far above the district (14.5%), the state (17.3%), and nearby Fall Creek (10.4%) and Elk Mound (5.9%), though similar to Memorial (24.4%) and North (27.2%).

Test results are mixed. In 2025–2026, science rose above state (45.25% vs. 43.20%), English language arts was near state (47.47% vs. 48.47%), and math remained below state (40.19% vs. 42.93%) — a persistent weakness since 2022–2023. Social studies, above state for three straight years, fell below in 2025–2026 (43.71% vs. 48.25%). Spending is $15,164 per student with a 16.1 student–teacher ratio, and 33.22% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The most likely leverage points for improvement appear to be attendance and math/social studies instruction.
