Summary

Loyal High is a public high school located in Loyal, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 167 students. The school is part of the Loyal School District, which is ranked 385 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Loyal High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin high schools, with a ranking between 207 and 383 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Forward Exam and ACT, is significantly below the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35% of 10th-grade students at Loyal High were proficient or better in Social Studies, compared to the state average of 47.67%. Loyal High's performance on English Language Arts and Mathematics tests is also well below the state average, with only 27.91% and 34.88% of 10th-grade students, respectively, being proficient or better in these subjects. However, the school has had a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.8% to 91.0% over the past few years, which is comparable to the nearby schools. The school's dropout rate has been higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 0.0% to 1.3% in recent years.

Compared to the nearby high schools, such as Marshfield High, which is located about 17.6 miles away, Loyal High generally performs worse on academic measures, such as test scores and rankings. Loyal High has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 40.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools. This higher percentage of students from low-income families may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes. Addressing these socioeconomic factors may be an important consideration for improving the performance of Loyal High.
