Summary

Mauston High is a public high school located in Mauston, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the Mauston School District, which is ranked 305 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mauston High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 100 out of 431 high schools (4-star rating) in 2024-2025 to 362 out of 408 high schools (1-star rating) in 2015-2016. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with a 4-star rating in 2024-2025, followed by 2-star ratings in 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, and a 3-star rating in 2021-2022. While male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed relatively well, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting its overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Mauston High appears to be performing better than some, such as iLEAD Charter School and Lemonweir Academy, but may be struggling compared to others, like Wisconsin Dells High and Hillsboro High. Continued efforts to analyze and address the school's challenges, such as inconsistent performance and high chronic absenteeism, could help Mauston High improve its overall performance and better serve its students.
