Summary

Denmark High is a public 9–12 comprehensive high school in Denmark, WI, a small community in northeastern Wisconsin, serving 479 students as part of the Denmark School District. The district ranks 207th of 432 in Wisconsin (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while the school's own results have been up and down. In 2025–2026, Denmark High ranked 302nd of 533 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) — a steep drop from 2024–2025, when it reached 95th of 431 (78th percentile, 4 stars). The years before that landed between the 59th and 64th percentiles.

Non-academic outcomes are a clear strength. The graduation rate was 94.1% in 2024–2025 and has stayed between 94.0% and 99.0% over five reported years. The dropout rate was 0.2%, far below the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism was 6.7% versus the state's 17.3%. Among nearby high schools, only West De Pere High (4.3%) had lower absenteeism; De Pere High was 12.6% and Mishicot High 13.4%. Denmark's free/reduced-lunch rate of 13.99% is the lowest in this comparison group, and it spends less than most neighbors — $13,347 per student — with a 15.7:1 student-teacher ratio.

Test scores are where the picture turns. In 2025–2026, Denmark was slightly below the state in social studies (46.92 vs. 48.25) and math (41.84 vs. 42.93), and more clearly below in ELA (41.84 vs. 48.47) and science (36.73 vs. 43.20). Just a year earlier it exceeded the state in all four subjects. The decline touched multiple subjects and student groups, pointing to a school- or cohort-wide shift rather than one isolated group. Special education students were a relative bright spot, ranking at the 69th percentile against the school's overall 43rd; low-SES students ranked 34th. Compared with nearby schools, De Pere High and West De Pere High rank far higher academically, while the Green Bay Area Public School District high schools and alternative programs such as East High and Preble High generally score lower with higher absenteeism.
