Summary

Germantown High is a public high school in Germantown, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 1,288 students as part of the Germantown School District, which ranks 54th of 432 Wisconsin districts. The school ranks 64th of 533 high schools in 2025–2026—the 88th percentile, with 4 stars—placing it in the state's top tier, just outside the top decile.

Completion outcomes are a clear strength: a 97.4% graduation rate and 0.2% dropout rate in 2024–2025, compared with 92.0% and 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 26.8% in 2020–2021 to 11.2% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 17.3%, though still above the district's 7.5% and above Hamilton High (7.8%), Homestead High (8.2%), and Cedarburg High (9.5%). Test proficiency is above state averages in every tested subject; math shows the widest margin at 65.08% versus 42.93% statewide, and English language arts is 64.76% versus 48.47%.

Locally, Germantown outperforms Menomonee Falls High in ELA, math, and science but trails it in social studies, and trails Cedarburg, Hamilton, and Homestead in most subjects. Social studies has been the most volatile measure, moving from 67.11% in 2022–2023 to 42.91% in 2023–2024 and to 53.98% in 2025–2026. Subgroup effectiveness is generally strong, with special education students at the 68th percentile and Hispanic students at the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026. Spending is $14,892 per student, and the student–teacher ratio of 15.3 is lower than all four nearby districts, so resources alone do not explain the local gaps.
