Summary

Horicon High School is a small public high school in Horicon, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 248 students in the Horicon School District, near Mayville, Waupun, and Beaver Dam. It ranks 169th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 (68th percentile, 3 stars). About 32.26% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025; per-student spending was $13,833 and the student-teacher ratio was 14.7. It improved greatly over the past decade, from the bottom 10–17th percentile in the mid-2010s and early 2020s to the 59th–68th percentile recently, rebounding to 68th after a 2024–2025 dip. Chronic absenteeism was 9.3% versus 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. The latest graduation rate was 90.1%, below the state’s 92.0%, though it was 96.8% the prior year.

In 2025–2026, 10th-grade results were above state in social studies (58.33% vs. 48.25%), English language arts (52.17% vs. 48.47%), and mathematics (50.00% vs. 42.93%); science was slightly below state at 42.22% vs. 43.20%. Math rebounded sharply from 33.9% in 2024–2025, while science improved from 35.59% but remains the main academic watch item. Among nine nearby high schools, Horicon High School ranks fourth by school-rank percentile, behind Lomira High, Oakfield High, and Hustisford High, but ahead of Hartford High, Mayville Junior-Senior High, Beaver Dam High, Waupun Area Junior/Senior High School, and Dodgeland High. Its social studies is higher than most nearby schools; math beats state and several peers but trails a few higher-ranked nearby schools.

Subgroup effectiveness is a recent strength: low-socioeconomic-status students rank in the 84th percentile, male students in the 75th, and special education students in the 67th. The low-SES ranking rose from the 33rd percentile in 2024–2025 and 48th in 2023–2024. The school has the lowest per-student spending among nearby comparison schools yet outperforms several higher-spending peers on latest tests. With 248 students, small cohorts can make rates swing year to year. Overall, the school is a small, improving school with above-state results in social studies, ELA, and math, strong attendance and dropout outcomes, and positive latest-year subgroup effectiveness; science and the latest graduation-rate dip are the main areas to watch.
