Summary

Howards Grove High is a small public high school serving 282 students in grades 9–12 in the rural-suburban village of Howards Grove, part of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. It is the secondary campus of the Howards Grove School District. The school is currently at its strongest recorded level: 84th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–26, though it has oscillated between the 36th and 86th percentiles over the past decade.

Completion outcomes are the school’s most consistent strength. Graduation rates have ranged 96.0%–100.0% over the last five reported years, against a state rate of 89.5%–92.0%, and dropout rates have been 0.0%–0.3% in three of the last four years. In 2025–26, proficiency beat the state in all four tested areas: ELA (ACT, 10th) 75.0% vs. 48.5%, math 57.1% vs. 42.9%, science 51.8% vs. 43.2%, and social studies (Forward, 10th) 53.3% vs. 48.3%. The one soft spot is chronic absenteeism, at 10.4% in 2024–25—well below the state’s 17.3% but above the district’s 8.7%. It has improved from 15.6% two years earlier.

Compared with nearby schools, Howards Grove sits in the top tier—behind only Kohler High and Elkhart Lake High, and ahead of Plymouth High, Sheboygan Falls High, and the four Sheboygan city high schools. The school spends $14,804 per student with a 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio. Its special education students ranked 8th of 95 schools statewide in 2023–24, but low-income students have been flat near the state median (43rd percentile in 2025–26). Note: very small cohorts (about 60–70 tested students per grade) make single-year swings directional, not definitive.
