Summary

Iowa-Grant High is a 9–12 school in Livingston, WI, a small town in southwestern Wisconsin, serving about 225 students. That makes it mid-sized for the area — larger than Highland Community High (94 students), similar to Fennimore High and Mineral Point High, and smaller than Platteville High (479). In 2025–2026 the school ranked 236th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (56th percentile, 3 stars) — notably higher than its own Iowa-Grant School District, which ranks 260th of 432 districts (40th percentile, 2 stars). Its rank history swings: 1 star in 2021–2022, 3 stars in 2022–2023, 2 stars in 2023–2024, and the mid-50s since.

The biggest recent concerns are graduation and attendance patterns. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 88.6%, below Wisconsin's 92.0% and lower than every nearby regular high school, while the dropout rate rose to 2.1% (state: 1.1%). Prior years were much stronger (95.2%, 92.7%, 95.3%, 97.3%), so it's worth asking whether this was a one-year cohort dip or a trend. In English language arts, proficiency was 46.15% versus the state's 48.47%, below state in multiple recent years (40% and 33.33% before that). Social studies also slipped slightly below state (46.77% vs. 48.25%). Chronic absenteeism of 11.4% beats the state's 17.3%, but it's up from 7.8% and higher than River Ridge High, Mineral Point, Highland, and Dodgeville High.

On the plus side, math (44.23%) and science (48.08%) proficiency exceed state averages (42.93% and 43.2%), and the school's effectiveness ranking is strong for low-income students and female students, both at the 82nd percentile with 4 stars — meaningful given a free/reduced lunch rate of 42.22% that has been rising. Class sizes are favorable at 11:1. Still, most nearby schools rank higher overall, including Fennimore (89th percentile), Mineral Point (79th), Platteville (78th), Dodgeville (72nd), Belmont High (68th), Riverdale High (66th), Lancaster High (60th), and River Ridge (59th); only Highland (45th) ranks lower.
