Summary
Arrowhead High in Hartland, Wisconsin, is a large public comprehensive high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,950 students — the biggest school in this nearby comparison set — and it is the flagship of the Arrowhead Union High School School District, a single-high-school district whose metrics mirror the school's own.
Academically, Arrowhead sits near the very top of Wisconsin high schools: 5th of 432 districts and 7th of 533 high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the top 1%. Test proficiency in 2025–26 was 82.33 in ELA, 73.83 in Math, 72.93 in Science, and 75.57 in Social Studies — roughly 27 to 34 points above the state average. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 98.1%, the dropout rate 0.0%, and chronic absenteeism just 4.6%, versus 17.3% statewide. Against nearby large schools, Arrowhead leads Hamilton High and Pewaukee High in ELA and Math, and its absenteeism is far lower than Pewaukee (11.3%), Kettle Moraine High (13.5%), Oconomowoc High (19.4%), and North High (23.7%). Scores also rebounded sharply after 2022–23, with ELA rising from 60.5 to 82.33.
Several small specialized schools in the Kettle Moraine School District — notably High School of Health Sciences, KM Global School, and School for Arts and Performance — post higher marks in some individual subjects, but they serve only 71 to 176 students. Arrowhead achieves top-1% results at nearly 2,000 students. It spends $14,364 per student with a 17:1 student–teacher ratio — less money than Pewaukee or Kettle Moraine High despite stronger overall results. Performance is strong across student groups, including low-income, English-learner, and special education students; the Asian subgroup's 2024–25 rank (29th of 57) is a watch point.
