Better than 90% of Wisconsin high schools

Summary

Kimberly High in Kimberly, Wisconsin is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,587 students, and it is the only high school in the Kimberly Area School District, located in a small suburban community just east of Appleton. It has ranked in the top 10 percent of Wisconsin high schools for several years running, climbing from the 72nd percentile in 2017–18 to a plateau in the 90th–92nd percentile across the three most recent years.

A few numbers stand out for parents weighing nearby options. On 2025–26 10th-grade tests, 67.3% of students were proficient in English language arts and 64.03% in math — roughly 19 and 21 points above the state average and well ahead of Kaukauna High, the closest comparable school. The 98.5% graduation rate is the highest among full-size comprehensive high schools in the area, ahead of Kaukauna High, East High, and North High, with a 0.0% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism, at 11.4%, beats the state's 17.3% and every nearby comprehensive high school. Kimberly achieves this at $12,581 per student — less than Kaukauna High, North High, East High, and Little Chute High. Kimberly also enrolls a lower share of low-income students than those peers, which is useful context for any comparison.

The gaps worth knowing: English language learner students rank in the 9th percentile and Asian students in the 39th, making language support the clearest weak spot, and low-income students have slipped from the 89th to the 71st percentile over three years. These rankings measure how well the school serves each group relative to other Wisconsin schools serving similar students. Chronic absenteeism has drifted up from 7.7% to 11.4% since 2020–21 even as the state's rate fell. Social studies (56.95% proficient) is the one subject where Kaukauna High leads. Tiny specialty programs like Tesla Engineering Charter School and Little Chute Career Pathways Academy post higher scores, but their small, selective enrollments make them an unfair yardstick.
