Summary

Holmen High is a 9–12 public high school in Holmen, Wisconsin, a village in the La Crosse area, and with 1,242 students it is the largest high school among the nearby comparables. It belongs to the Holmen School District, which ranks 138 of 432 districts statewide (68th percentile, 3 stars), while the high school itself does better: 114 of 533 high schools, or 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026. That is a notable rebound — Holmen was a 4-star school in the late 2010s, fell to 25th percentile and 1 star in 2021–2022, then recovered to 82nd percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Holmen High scored above Wisconsin in all four reported 10th-grade measures: social studies 51.56 vs 48.25, English language arts 57.88 vs 48.47, math 53.08 vs 42.93, and science 56.16 vs 43.20. The science result is the standout — it is the highest among the nearby high schools, ahead of West Salem High, Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High, Bangor Middle/High and Onalaska High, though Onalaska and West Salem lead locally in ELA and math. The prior year was even stronger, and graduation stands at 96.4% versus 92.0% statewide, with a dropout rate of 0.9% below the state's 1.1%.

Holmen produces these outcomes with relatively lean resources: it spends $14,944 per student, the lowest among the comparison schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is higher than every listed nearby comprehensive high school. Chronic absenteeism is the main watch item — at 10.4% it is far below the state's 17.3%, but above the district's 4.7% and up from 6.7% two years earlier; it remains better than Central High, Logan High and La Crosse Polytechnic School. The school also serves its special education students well, ranking 71st percentile (up from 26th the year before), with low-income students at 69th percentile, and most student groups rated 3 or 4 stars.
