Summary
Hortonville High is a 9–12 public high school in Hortonville, Wisconsin, serving 1,323 students as part of the Hortonville Area School District and is the largest school in its immediate comparison group after Neenah High. It is a comprehensive high school with strong overall outcomes, and its district ranks higher than nearby districts in the data.
In 2025–2026, Hortonville High ranked 124th of 533 Wisconsin high schools, placing in the 77th percentile with 4 stars, while the Hortonville Area School District ranked 59th of 432 districts, in the 86th percentile with 4 stars. That district ranking is stronger than those of nearby Neenah Joint School District, Menasha Joint School District, New London School District, and Appleton Area School District. On 2025–2026 ACT results, Hortonville was above the state in English Language Arts (64.44% vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (53.80% vs. 42.93%), and Science (54.41% vs. 43.20%). ELA is its standout: the highest among comparable comprehensive high schools nearby. Social Studies is the main concern: 44.41%, below the state’s 48.25% and below New London High, Shiocton High, and Neenah High, after a sharp drop from 58.46% the prior year.
Completion and attendance are exceptional: a 98.4% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, and 1.6% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, compared with Wisconsin’s 92.0%, 1.1%, and 17.3%. Chronic absenteeism is the lowest among the listed schools, with Shiocton High next at 2.9%. The school spends $11,611 per student and has an 18.0 student–teacher ratio, less spending than most nearby comprehensive high schools but strong results. Low-socioeconomic-status students rank in the 76th percentile with 4 stars, male students in the 81st percentile, and special education students improved from the 20th to the 58th percentile; some subgroup results swing year to year, likely due to small cohorts. Small alternative schools such as Renaissance School, Valley New School, Appleton Technical Academy, and Catalyst Academy are not direct benchmarks.
