Gibraltar High

Gibraltar High is a small public high school in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 175 students, and it is part of the Gibraltar Area School District. It ranks 26th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–26 (95th percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks 32nd of 432 districts statewide. Recent results are excellent: a 100% graduation rate in 2024–25, a 0.0% dropout rate, and test scores above state averages in every subject.

Nearby, Gibraltar High looks similar to Sevastopol High in some ways and very different from Marinette High in others. Gibraltar is the smallest of the three but spends the most: $29,993 per student in 2024–25, about 58% more than Sevastopol and nearly double Marinette, with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9:1. In 2025–26, Gibraltar led in Social Studies (78.05% proficient) and English Language Arts (77.14%), well above the state and Marinette. In Math and Science, Gibraltar and Sevastopol were essentially tied—60.00 vs. 60.38 in math and 62.86 vs. 64.15 in science—though Gibraltar led all four subjects the prior year. Both schools are far above Marinette and the state in every subject.

Gibraltar has improved steadily, moving from the 50th percentile statewide in 2016–17 to the 91st in 2022–23 and the 94th–95th since. In 2025–26, every reported subgroup ranked at or above the 92nd percentile, including low-income students at 5th of 446 (99th percentile). The main counterpoint is chronic absenteeism: 21.5% in 2024–25, above the state (17.3%), above Sevastopol's 19.3% and Marinette's 20.5%, and much higher than the district's 11.2%—an area worth watching despite strong outcomes.
