Summary

Grantsburg High is a public high school in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, serving 263 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Grantsburg School District, which is ranked 304 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Grantsburg High has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency across subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.51% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 48.62%. However, the school's performance in 10th-grade Social Studies was relatively stronger, with 65.57% proficiency compared to the state's 47.67%. Grantsburg High has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, but its dropout rate has been slightly higher than nearby schools like Luck High, Webster High, and Frederic 6-12 School.

One notable finding is that while Grantsburg High's overall performance is below average, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively stronger compared to the state. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting and addressing the needs of this particular subgroup. However, the school faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its overall academic underperformance. By learning from the practices of nearby higher-performing schools and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, Grantsburg High may be able to improve outcomes for all its students.
