Summary

Loyal High is a small public high school in the rural community of Loyal, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 168 students as part of the Loyal School District.

In 2025–2026, Loyal High ranked 369 of 533 Wisconsin high schools — 31st percentile, 2 stars. That is a modest rebound from a rough stretch: the school fell to 3rd percentile / 0 stars in 2021–2022, sat between 11th and 20th percentile with 1 star through 2024–2025, and was far stronger years earlier, at 69th percentile / 3 stars in 2016–2017. Notably, the school's 31st percentile rank is higher than its district's overall standing of 389 of 432 districts (10th percentile, 1 star), suggesting the high school is a relative bright spot locally. Compared with nearby schools, Loyal outranks Abbotsford Middle/Senior High, Colby High, Owen-Withee High, Granton High, and Spencer Jr./Sr. High, is roughly comparable to Neillsville High, and trails Marshfield High and Greenwood High.

Loyal's profile is split. Social Studies is a genuine strength: 10th-grade proficiency of 54.55% beats the state's 48.25% and ranks second among nearby schools. Completion metrics are also solid — a 97.3% graduation rate (above the state's 92.0%) and a 0.6% dropout rate. The main weakness is ACT performance, where 10th-grade proficiency trails the state in ELA (35.9% vs. 48.47%), Math (25.64% vs. 42.93%), and Science (28.21% vs. 43.2%). Chronic absenteeism is another concern at 15.3%: below the state's 17.3%, but above the district's 9.1% and up sharply from 7.3% in 2021–2022. The school spends $21,030 per student with a 12.8:1 student/teacher ratio — favorable inputs that have not yet translated into above-state ACT results.
