Summary

Menomonie High is a grades 9–12 school in Menomonie, Wisconsin — a western Wisconsin community about an hour east of the Twin Cities — serving 966 students, which makes it by far the largest school in its local comparison group. It belongs to the Menomonie Area School District, which ranks 228th of 432 Wisconsin districts (about the 47th percentile).

Academically, the picture is mixed. In 2025-2026, math proficiency (51.90%) and science (52.63%) were above the state averages of 42.93% and 43.20%, while English language arts (47.62%) and social studies (46.78%) were slightly below state and near the low end among nearby schools. A year earlier, all four subjects were above state, so the recent dip looks year-specific rather than a lasting decline. The school's overall rank has swung widely, from the 73rd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 63rd in 2025-2026, after weaker years in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. Menomonie spends $13,873 per student, the lowest in the group, and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 15.4.

The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 21.7% in 2024-2025, higher than the state (17.3%), higher than the district (15.3%), and higher than every nearby school, including Elk Mound High at 5.9% and Durand Middle/High at 18.1%. It has improved from 31.2% in 2022-2023. Graduation (93.1%) is above the state's 92.0% but trails Spring Valley High, Elmwood High, Glenwood City High, Colfax High and Elk Mound High. In short, Menomonie High delivers above-state math and science results and solid graduation rates in a large, lower-spending school, with attendance the main area to watch.
