414^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 533 Wisconsin High Schools

Better than 22% of Wisconsin high schools

Summary

D C Everest Idea School is a small public school in Weston, Wisconsin, serving 69 students in grades 6–12 as part of the D C Everest Area School District, located about 1.6 miles from the much larger D C Everest High. In 2025–2026 it ranked 414th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (22nd percentile, 1 star), a sharp reversal from 2024–2025, when it ranked 25th of 431 (94th percentile, 5 stars).

With only 69 students, a handful of students can swing proficiency rates by 10–20 points, so one-year changes should be read with caution. Every reported 2025–2026 proficiency rate is below district and state averages: ACT Science is 14.29% (district 50.00%, state 43.20%), ACT ELA is 28.57% (district 52.01%, state 48.47%), and 8th-grade math is 11.11% (district 64.54%, state 53.67%). Nearby high schools post higher ACT results, including D C Everest High (52.43 ELA, 50.64 science), Marathon High (61.19 ELA) and Mosinee High (64.35 ELA). Still, the school has reached top-tier results before — 100% in 8th-grade social studies and 80% ACT ELA in 2022–2023 — and its 1-star year is not its historical norm.

Completion and attendance are clear strengths. In 2024–2025 the school reported a 100% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and 8.1% chronic absenteeism — lower than the state's 17.3% and lower than every nearby school with reported data. Spending is $12,307 per student, the student-teacher ratio is 15.5, and 28.99% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — moderate, not an extreme outlier. The key question for families: is the 2025–2026 drop a one-cohort dip amplified by tiny enrollment, or the start of a broader decline?
