Summary

Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High is a public high school in Galesville, WI, serving grades 9–12 with 411 students as part of the Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District, in an area with a mix of smaller rural and larger suburban-style high schools.

Academically, the school performed above the Wisconsin average in 2025-2026 on three of four reported 10th-grade assessments: ACT English language arts (57.84% vs. 48.47%), ACT mathematics (49.02% vs. 42.93%), and ACT science (53.92% vs. 43.20%). Social studies was essentially at the state average at 47.87% vs. 48.25%. The school ranked 146th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025-2026 (73rd percentile, 4 stars). Its biggest relative strength is science; math is the largest gap compared with top nearby schools such as Onalaska High, West Salem High, and Holmen High, though its ELA score is essentially tied with Holmen and its science score slightly edges Onalaska.

Graduation and attendance are standout strengths: the 99.0% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, and 3.7% chronic absenteeism are much better than the state’s 17.3% chronic absenteeism and better than most nearby schools, with only Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High reporting lower absenteeism at 1.6%. Chronic absenteeism improved from 28.9% in 2021-2022 to 3.7% in 2024-2025. Low-income students also performed notably well, ranking in the 84th percentile with 4 stars, above the school’s overall 73rd percentile. Compared with similarly sized Arcadia High, G-E-T has far higher test scores, graduation, and attendance and a much lower free/reduced-lunch rate. Per-student spending is $17,618, higher than Holmen High and Onalaska High, showing that outcomes depend on more than spending. Social studies is a small area to monitor, and the school’s rank has been variable but has trended upward.
