Summary

Owen-Withee High in Owen, WI, is a small rural public high school serving 139 students in grades 9–12 within the Owen-Withee School District, an area with high economic need. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 454 of 533 Wisconsin high schools (15th percentile, 1 star), and its district ranked 367 of 432 (15th percentile, 1 star). It sits near the bottom of nearby schools: below Stanley-Boyd High (62nd percentile), Medford High and Greenwood High (both 44th), Loyal High (31st), Thorp High (30th), Gilman High (29th), Spencer Junior High/High (27th), and Abbotsford Middle/Senior High (18th), but above Colby High (14th).

Achievement is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ACT proficiency was 15.38% in English language arts, 20.51% in math, and 23.08% in science—far below state rates of 48.47%, 42.93%, and 43.20%. Its ELA and science results were the lowest among nearby schools; math was above only Colby High. ACT results dropped sharply from 2024–2025, when ELA and math were both 36%. Social studies was stronger at 41.94%, though below the state’s 48.25%. By contrast, completion is strong: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 100% and the dropout rate was 0.0%. Attendance is a different story: chronic absenteeism was 21.4%, above its district’s 14.1% and the state’s 17.3%, and much higher than Stanley-Boyd High (2.7%), Thorp High (6.9%), Gilman High (10.1%), and Abbotsford Middle/Senior High (11.1%).

Resources and subgroups add context. The school spent $17,142 per student in 2024–2025 and had a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, higher than most nearby schools. Spending alone does not explain outcomes: Stanley-Boyd High spends less ($14,823) but ranks much higher, while Greenwood High spends much more ($24,475) with a lower ratio (8.7) yet has weaker graduation (88.8%) and higher absenteeism (25.8%). A major equity signal: effectiveness for low-socioeconomic-status students fell from the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2018–2019 to the 13th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026, even though over half the student body qualifies for free/reduced lunch. Special education students ranked at the 35th percentile (2 stars), above the school’s overall 15th percentile. Overall, Owen-Withee High graduates students reliably, but ACT achievement and chronic absenteeism need attention.
