of 533 Wisconsin High Schools

Better than 97% of Wisconsin high schools

Summary

New Glarus High is a public school serving grades 9–12 with about 320 students in New Glarus, a small community in south-central Wisconsin. In 2025–2026, it ranked 14th of 533 Wisconsin high schools — top 3% and 5 stars — while the New Glarus School District ranked 16th of 432 districts. That places it ahead of nearby schools such as Mount Horeb High (32nd), Belleville High (62nd), and Verona Area High (81st). This is the best rank in the provided history, after a dip to the 67th–68th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022.

Academics are the main reason for that ranking. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade proficiency at New Glarus High was 73.97 in Social Studies, 73.85 in ELA, 75.38 in Math, and 70.77 in Science. Statewide, those figures were 48.25, 48.47, 42.93, and 43.20, so New Glarus High is 25–32 percentage points above the state in every subject. Compared with Mount Horeb High, New Glarus High is essentially tied in Social Studies (73.97 vs. 74.12) and ahead in ELA (+4.15), Math (+17.80), and Science (+8.95). Math is the standout: New Glarus High’s 75.38% is far above Mount Horeb High’s 57.58%, Verona Area High’s 50.26%, Belleville High’s 55.71%, and the state’s 42.93%.

Graduation and dropout outcomes are excellent: 97.9% graduation and 0.0% dropout in 2024–2025, compared with 92.0% and 1.1% statewide. Results are also broad: female, male, and low-socioeconomic-status students rank in the 96th–98th percentile statewide, and special education students rank at the 71st percentile. New Glarus High has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate (14.69%) and the lowest per-pupil spending among nearby comparison schools at $15,609. The clearest relative weakness is chronic absenteeism: 15.1% in 2024–2025, below the state’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 8.8% and higher than Mount Horeb High (9.4%), Juda High (12.0%), and Argyle High (1.2%).
