Better than 96% of Wisconsin high schools

Summary

Elkhart Lake High is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in the lakeside village of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, with about 155 students, and it is part of the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District. It ranks 22nd of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–26 (96th percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks 17th of 432 districts statewide — putting both in the top tier of the state.

Recent outcomes are exceptionally strong. In 2025–26, 10th-grade proficiency was 68.75% in social studies, 68.57% in English language arts, and 74.29% in both math and science — roughly 20 points above state averages in ELA and social studies, and about 31 points above in math and science. Its math and science scores are the highest among nearby high schools, ahead of Kohler High (71.43% in math), New Holstein High, Howards Grove High, and others. In 2024–25 the school posted a 100% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and 2.6% chronic absenteeism — far below Wisconsin's 17.3% and lower than every traditional high school nearby.

Subgroup results are unusually strong as well: 2025–26 rankings in the 99th percentile for female students and the 98th percentile for low-socioeconomic-status students. That stands out given a 20.65% free/reduced lunch rate, compared with 1.65% at Kohler. The school is also small and resource-intensive, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and per-student spending of $16,672. One caveat: with only 155 students, year-to-year rankings swing widely — the school has ranged from the 46th to the 97th percentile since 2018–19, moving from 3 stars to 5 stars in a single year. Kiel eSchool appears in nearby comparisons but is an alternative/virtual program that isn't directly comparable.
