Summary

New Holstein High is a public school serving roughly 309 students in grades 9 through 12 in the small city of New Holstein, Wisconsin, part of the New Holstein School District. For 2025–26 it ranked 77th of 533 Wisconsin high schools — the 86th percentile, or 4 stars — its best standing in the past decade of available data. That is a strong rebound from 2023–24, when it dipped to the 47th percentile and 2 stars. The district overall ranks 62nd of 432 districts statewide.

Academically, 10th graders scored above the Wisconsin average in all four tested subjects in 2025–26. Mathematics is the clearest signature: 62.03% proficient versus 42.93% statewide, about 19 points higher, and roughly 19–22 points above state in each of the last two years. Science climbed from below state in 2023–24 (38.67%) to 55.70%, while social studies (57.89) and English language arts (56.96) also beat state. Among nearby traditional high schools, only Elkhart Lake High posted stronger math and science results, and New Holstein is ahead of larger schools such as Plymouth High, Chilton High, and Kiel High in math.

Graduation and dropout outcomes are excellent: 97.4% of students graduated in 2024–25 against 92.0% statewide, with a 0.3% dropout rate versus 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 9.0%, about half the state's 17.3%, though Elkhart Lake High (2.6%), Kiel High (4.1%), Chilton High (7.0%), and Valders High (7.1%) do better. A standout strength is the school's work with low-income students, who ranked in the top 2% of schools statewide in 2024–25 and the top 7% in 2025–26; special education students reached the 85th percentile in 2025–26. Per-student spending is $16,786 with a 14.1 student-teacher ratio — more funding than most neighbors, but larger classes than several of them.
