Summary

Edgerton High is a public high school serving about 593 students in grades 9–12 in Edgerton, Wisconsin, part of the Edgerton School District. It ranked 125th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 77th percentile with a 4-star rating, while the district ranked 120th of 432 districts statewide (4 stars). The school's rank has climbed substantially over the past decade — from the 30th percentile in 2015–16 and 36th in 2020–21 to 74th and 79th in 2022–23 and 2023–24 — dipped to 53rd in 2024–25, then rebounded to 77th in 2025–26.

Completion outcomes are a clear strength. Edgerton's 99.3% graduation rate is the highest among nearby high schools, ahead of Stoughton High (98.6%), Cambridge High (98.4%), Milton High (97.7%), Craig High (97.4%), Evansville High (96.4%), Parker High (93.9%), Fort Atkinson High (93.5%) and Rock River Charter School (85.4%), compared with 92.0% statewide. The dropout rate is 0.1% versus Wisconsin's 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 11.4%, better than the state's 17.3% and most nearby schools, though the district figure is only 5.2%, suggesting attendance is more of a high-school-specific challenge. In 2025–26, every reported student subgroup scored at or above the state median, with the highest marks among Hispanic students and both gender groups; the low-income subgroup slipped from the 90th percentile in 2023–24 to 54th in 2025–26, a trend worth watching.

Academics are above state averages in all four reported subjects. Social Studies proficiency of 59.03% is the highest among nearby schools and about 10.8 points above the state, while ELA at 59.29% trails only Cambridge locally. Mathematics and Science, both 47.79%, beat the state (42.93% and 43.2%) but sit mid-pack nearby, generally behind Milton and Cambridge in math. Edgerton serves a higher-poverty population (30.52% free/reduced lunch) than Cambridge, Milton, Evansville, Fort Atkinson or Stoughton, spends $15,619 per student, and has a relatively high 16.5 student-teacher ratio — yet its outcomes remain above state averages.
