Summary

Plum City High is a small public high school at 907 Main St in Plum City, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 in the Plum City School District with just 79 students — the smallest high school among its nearby comparison group. Its most recent overall rank is 347th of 533 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, a slight improvement over 2024–2025's 26th percentile but well below its 2021–2022 showing at the 59th percentile. Once a top performer — 25th of 466, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars in 2014–2015 — the school has since slipped toward the bottom third of Wisconsin high schools.

Plum City High spends far more per student than any nearby school — $28,436, nearly double Ellsworth High's $14,875 and Durand Middle/High's $14,179 — and has the smallest classes, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.5 against 8.7 to 14.9 nearby. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 36.71% is higher than Ellsworth, Spring Valley High, and Pepin High, though close to Durand and Elmwood High. On 2025–2026 10th-grade tests, English language arts is a bright spot at 52.94%, above the state's 48.47% and above Ellsworth, Pepin, and Elmwood. Math (35.29%), Science (23.53%), and Social Studies (37.5%) all fall below state averages, with Science the clearest gap — at least 19.7 percentage points below the next-lowest nearby school, Durand's 43.24%.

Graduation stands at 94.1%, above the state's 92.0% but below every nearby high school, which range from 97.9% to 100%. The dropout rate of 1.2% is the highest in the group, and chronic absenteeism rose to 17.3% from 6.2% a year earlier — well above the district's 9.0%. In 2025–2026, female students ranked at the 68th percentile while male students ranked at the 13th percentile, a wide gap that a small number of students could drive. With only 79 students, a one- or two-student change can move results by several points, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year, and middle-grade feeder results look stronger than the high school's.
