Summary
Hustisford High is a small public school in Hustisford, WI, serving 158 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Hustisford School District in a rural area. Its 2025–2026 results were a big step up: the school ranked 128th of 533 Wisconsin schools (76th percentile, 4 stars), a dramatic jump from 2024–2025, when it ranked 396th of 431 (8th percentile, 0 stars). The years before that were also uneven — 18th percentile in 2023–2024, 35th percentile in 2022–2023 — so parents should treat one strong year as promising but not yet a settled trend. The district as a whole ranks 199th of 432 (3 stars).
Engagement is a clear strength. Chronic absenteeism was 5.3% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin's 17.3% and second only to Slinger High among nearby schools; the dropout rate, 0.7%, also beats the state. The main red flag is the 2024–2025 graduation rate of 86.2%, below the state's 92.0% and lower than nearby schools such as Horicon High School (90.1%); earlier years were stronger (90.4%, 100%, 96.3%), so this may be a small-cohort effect. On tests, 10th-grade social studies (72.22%) and ACT ELA (63.16%) are standouts, and 8th-grade ELA, social studies, and science beat state averages. Math lags: ACT math is 36.84%, below state and most nearby high schools, and 6th- and 7th-grade math and ELA also trail state.
Hustisford High is resource-intensive, spending $21,441 per student with a 9:1 student-teacher ratio — both the most generous among nearby schools. Its latest rank sits above Beaver Dam High, Mayville Junior-Senior High, Hartford High, Watertown High, Dodgeland High, and Horicon High School, but below Lomira High, Endeavor Charter School, Oconomowoc High, and Slinger High. With only 158 students across seven grades, each cohort is tiny, so percentages can swing widely from year to year.
