Summary

Shawano High is a public high school in Shawano, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 702 students as part of the Shawano School District, whose district-wide rank is 371 of 432 in Wisconsin (14th percentile, 1 star). Shawano High's own 2025–2026 ranking is 390 of 533, or 27th percentile with 1 star. Its rank history shows a relative high point in 2023–2024 at 40th percentile (2 stars), followed by a decline to 35th percentile in 2024–2025 and 27th percentile in 2025–2026.

Outcomes present a mixed picture. The graduation rate of 94.7% is above Wisconsin's 92.0%, but the dropout rate of 1.5% is above the state's 1.1% and the highest among nearby high schools. Chronic absenteeism is 20.2%, above the state's 17.3% though better than the district's 22.4%. Test proficiency falls below the state in every reported subject: Social Studies 29.22% versus 48.25%, English Language Arts 41.52% versus 48.47%, Mathematics 33.33% versus 42.93%, and Science 28.65% versus 43.20%. Notably, in 2024–2025 ACT Math was above state at 44.68% and ELA was near state, so 2025–2026 marks a sharp drop across all four subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Shawano sits in the lower half. Pulaski High ranks in the 74th percentile with much higher proficiency in every subject, while Bonduel High, Marion High and Gresham High also generally outperform Shawano. Shawano does score above Bowler High and Menominee Nation High School in most subjects, though Menominee Nation graduates 99.1% of its students. On resources, Shawano spends $14,946 per pupil — among the lowest of these nearby schools — with a 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio, the second-highest in the group, and 40.46% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. One bright spot: the school's effectiveness rank for Native American students was 68th percentile in 2025–2026, well above its overall rank.
