Summary

New Auburn High is a small public high school in New Auburn, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 99 students, making it the smallest comprehensive high school in its area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 296th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), which is higher than its own New Auburn School District standing of 354th of 432 districts (18th percentile, 1 star), and above nearby Barron High, Cameron High, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High, and Bloomer High, while trailing Colfax High. North Star Academy is smaller but operates as an alternative-style school.

Attendance and completion are genuine strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 12.2%, well below the state's 17.3% and lower than every nearby comprehensive high school, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. Graduation came in at 95.8%, above the state's 92.0% though slightly below most neighbors. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade Social Studies proficiency was 64.71% against a state figure of 48.25%, the highest nearby, and Math ACT proficiency was 48.39% versus 42.93% statewide, also the top result among nearby schools. The school also ranks in the 74th percentile for female students and the 84th percentile for low-income students.

The academic picture is uneven. ACT English Language Arts proficiency was 29.03% against a state figure of 48.47%, the lowest among nearby schools, and Science was 35.48% versus 43.20% statewide. With roughly 31 students in the tested cohort, a single student shifting proficiency moves results by about 3 points, so year-to-year swings are expected and single-year scores deserve caution. The student-teacher ratio rose to 14.9, the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools and up sharply from about 10:1 in the prior two years. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate of 3.03% is a dramatic drop from about 49% the year before and likely reflects a reporting or program change rather than a real shift. Recent effectiveness rankings for male and White students were lower than the school's overall standing.
