Test scores are a clear strength. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade proficiency was 77.08% in English language arts (state: 48.47%), 74.03% in mathematics (state: 42.93%), 61.46% in science (state: 43.20%), and 67.59% in social studies (state: 48.25%). Muskego has the highest ELA and math proficiency among nearby comprehensive high schools; only the small, selective Waukesha Engineering Preparatory Academy scores higher in those subjects. In statewide rank, Muskego (27th of 533) is ahead of Franklin High (102nd), West High (75th), Greendale High (57th), Whitnall High (199th), and South High (413th), while New Berlin West Middle/High (21st) and Eisenhower Middle/High (17th) rank higher.
For 2024–2025, Muskego reported a 97.2% graduation rate, a 0.1% dropout rate, and 11.9% chronic absenteeism. That absenteeism figure is below the state's 17.3% but above the district's 8.9% and above New Berlin West (4.1%), Eisenhower (4.4%), and Franklin (7.0%). The school's 5.39% free/reduced lunch rate is the lowest among nearby schools, and it spends $14,200 per student with a 17.5 student-teacher ratio — the highest ratio among nearby comprehensive high schools, yet results remain top-tier. Support for student groups is strong: low-income students rank 11th of 446, and special education students rank 44th of 333. The main things to watch are recent declines in science (from 69.92% to 61.46%) and social studies (from 70.74% to 67.59%), plus continued work on absenteeism.
