Summary

Glenwood City High is a small public school in the western Wisconsin community of Glenwood City, serving grades 9–12 with 186 students as the high school for the Glenwood City School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 99th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (81st percentile, 4 stars) — well above its own district, which ranks 193rd of 432 (55th percentile, 3 stars). Recent years have generally placed the school in the 78th–94th percentile, up from the 60s–70s in earlier years.

Math is the standout: 70.21% of students were proficient on ACT math, versus 42.93% statewide — the highest among 11 nearby high schools and ahead of larger neighbors such as New Richmond High (61.95%), Menomonie High (51.90%), and Saint Croix Central High (35.05%). ACT English (63.83% vs. 48.47%) and science (55.32% vs. 43.20%) also beat state averages. The exception is social studies, where the Forward Exam score fell to 38.24% — below the state's 48.25% and 8th of 11 nearby schools — after 64.44% the year before. That reversal may reflect a small cohort, but it is worth watching.

The school is also notably effective with lower-income students, whose subgroup ranked 93rd percentile in 2025 and 98th percentile in 2023, both with 5 stars. Graduation was 96.0% in 2024–2025 and the dropout rate 0.0%, though the prior year's 87.5% graduation rate shows how much small classes can swing. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 45.5% to 13.3%, now below the state's 17.3% but above the district's 8.3%. Class sizes are small (11.9 students per teacher, versus 15.8 at New Richmond High and 15.4 at Menomonie High), and spending is $16,635 per student, up 22.5% in a year. Overall, Glenwood City High ranks 5th among 11 nearby high schools.
