Summary

Crandon High is a 9–12 public high school serving 226 students in Crandon, a small community in northern Wisconsin, and is part of the Crandon School District. For 2025–2026, the school is ranked 317 of 533 Wisconsin high schools (41st percentile, 2 stars) — its highest showing in the displayed history, up from the 3rd percentile in 2021–2022. That stands in sharp contrast to the Crandon School District, which ranks 398 of 432 (8th percentile, 0 stars) statewide, meaning the high school is performing noticeably better than the district overall.

Science is Crandon's clearest academic strength: 50% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above the state's 43.2% and second among nearby schools after Three Lakes High. Math (32.76%), ELA (34.48%), and social studies (44.44%) all fall below state averages, and ELA has declined across the last two reported years. Among nearby schools, Three Lakes High scored higher in all four subjects and ranks at the 75th percentile, while Elcho High (57th percentile) and Laona High (52nd) also rank above Crandon. Wabeno High ranks below, at the 17th percentile.

Graduation is a relative strength at 94.4%, above the state's 92.0%. However, the dropout rate of 1.7% is above both the state and district, and chronic absenteeism of 27.4% is well above the state's 17.3% — though it has improved from 41.5% in 2022–2023. Crandon spends $18,511 per student and has a 12.6 student-teacher ratio, the highest among nearby schools.
