Summary

Cumberland High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Cumberland, a small city in northwestern Wisconsin, with 285 students in the Cumberland School District. The school has shown recent momentum: in 2025–2026 it ranked 238th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), up from 38th percentile in 2022–2023 and 44th percentile in 2023–2024. That places the school above its district's 2-star, 40th-percentile standing, suggesting the high school may be a relative bright spot locally.

Academically, math is Cumberland's clearest strength. Its 2025–2026 ACT math proficiency of 47.95% was above both the state (42.93%) and district, and the highest among nearby high schools, ahead of Shell Lake Junior/Senior High, Cameron High, Rice Lake High, Turtle Lake High, Clayton High, and Barron High. Science (45.21%) also beat the state. English Language Arts is the main gap at 42.47%, about 6 points below the state and behind Shell Lake and Rice Lake, while social studies improved to 48.44%, essentially at the state average.

Completion outcomes are solid — a 95.3% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism of 10.8% beats the state's 17.3% and most nearby high schools, but is more than double the district's own 5.3%, an internal contrast worth watching. Cumberland spends $17,639 per student with a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio, and 37.19% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Results vary by group: special education students rank in the 14th percentile (1 star) and female students at the 37th, compared with male students at the 71st and low-income students at the 55th, indicating the school's effectiveness is not evenly distributed.
