Summary
Mishicot High is a small rural public high school serving grades 9–12 in Mishicot, Wisconsin, with 274 students, and it is the only high school in the Mishicot School District. It sits among several similarly sized, geographically isolated schools, including Two Rivers High (5.7 miles away), Lincoln High (11.1 miles), and Denmark High (12.4 miles).
The school's ratings swing widely from year to year. After two straight 4-star years (2023–2024 and 2024–2025, roughly the 71st–73rd percentile), Mishicot fell to a 2-star, 32nd-percentile year in 2025–2026 — a 39-point drop, the largest one-year decline among nearby schools. In 2025–2026, 10th graders posted the highest English/language arts proficiency in the comparison group (47.4%, just under the state's 48.5%) while ranking last in social studies (32.4%) and science (31.6%); state scores were essentially flat. Because about 68 students per grade means each student is worth roughly 1.5 percentage points, a single year can shift results considerably. Completion outcomes are steadier and stronger: a 97.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025 (state: 92.0%), beating the state every reported year, with a 0.3% dropout rate (state: 1.1%).
Chronic absenteeism is 13.4%, better than the state's 17.3% but higher than the school's own district in each of the last four years. Mishicot spends $15,171 per student with a 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio — mid-pack locally, though Denmark High spends about $1,824 less per student and out-scored Mishicot in three of four subjects in 2025–2026. Parents may want to watch whether 2025–2026 proves a one-year cohort dip, whether the science and social studies gaps persist, and how attendance trends develop.
