Summary

Brookwood High is a public school in Ontario, WI, serving grades 7–12 with 264 students in the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District, in a rural community where about 52% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school has made a dramatic turnaround: after ranking at the 8th percentile in 2017–18, it reached the 86th percentile in 2024–25 and the 77th percentile in 2025–26, when it ranked 120th of 533 Wisconsin high schools with 4 stars. That made it the top-ranked school among the nearby schools listed here, ahead of Royall High and Westby High.

High school results are a clear strength. In 2025–26, Brookwood’s 10th-grade ACT ELA score was 66.67% versus the state’s 48.47%, and its 10th-grade social studies score was 58.82% versus 48.25%—both the highest among nearby schools. ACT math and science were also above state averages. The school also has low chronic absenteeism, 7.7% in 2024–25 versus Wisconsin’s 17.3%, and its low-income students ranked in the 89th percentile in 2025–26 and 93rd in 2024–25, showing strong effectiveness despite a 51.89% free/reduced lunch rate. Per-student spending is $16,488, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.6, both mid-range locally.

Two areas stand out for families to watch. Middle school results are mixed: 7th-grade Forward ELA was 34.15% versus the state’s 55.33%, and 8th-grade math was 41.18% versus 53.67%, though 8th-grade ELA was slightly above state. Also, the graduation rate was 82.0% in 2024–25, below Wisconsin’s 92.0% and lower than nearby schools such as Cashton Middle/High, Kickapoo High, and Hillsboro High, even though the dropout rate was 1.1%, equal to the state. The school should protect its ACT and social studies strengths, low absenteeism, and strong low-income student performance while investigating the graduation-rate gap and middle-school math/ELA.
