Summary

Edgar High is a small public high school in rural Edgar, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 193 students as the high school for the Edgar School District. It sits among much larger Wausau-area schools and small rural peers, and its most striking quality is momentum: it climbed from the 27th percentile of Wisconsin high schools in 2021–2022 to the 75th percentile in 2025–2026, ranking 133rd of 533 high schools with 4 stars. That said, it still trails a few nearby standouts in the latest year, including Marathon High at the 87th percentile and Stratford High and Mosinee High at the 80th, while remaining ahead of D C Everest High, East High, Athens High, Colby High, and Abbotsford Middle/Senior High.

In 2025–2026, Edgar's 10th-grade scores were above the Wisconsin average in all four reported subjects: Social Studies 55.32%, English Language Arts 56.25%, Math 50.00%, and Science 50.00%. Social Studies and English are its relative strengths, though Marathon, Stratford, and Mosinee generally scored higher in the latest year. Scores do swing noticeably from year to year, which is common in a school this small. Graduation outcomes are excellent: 98.0% in 2024–2025 versus a 92.0% state average, with a 1.0% dropout rate. That graduation rate beats D C Everest, East High, Athens, Marathon, and West High, though Stratford, Colby, and Abbotsford are slightly higher.

The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism, which rose to 22.7% in 2024–2025, above both the district's 14.0% and the state's 17.3%, and higher than most nearby schools except Marathon, East High, and Enrich Excel Achieve. Another gap shows in subgroup results: special education students ranked in the 12th percentile and low-socioeconomic-status students in the 15th percentile in 2025–2026, a sharp drop from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024. On the plus side, Edgar spends $16,000 per student with a favorable 12.5 student-teacher ratio, better than most nearby high schools. Overall, Edgar High is a small, improving school with strong graduation rates, above-state test scores, and good resources—with absenteeism and subgroup gaps as its main priorities.
