Summary
Etude High is a small public high school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with just 77 students as part of the Sheboygan Area School District, a district ranked 343rd of 432 in Wisconsin with 1 star. Despite that context, Etude ranked 67th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 — the 87th percentile, with 4 stars — well above same-district peers North High (50th percentile, 2 stars), George D Warriner High School for Personalized Learning (39th, 2 stars), South High (21st, 1 star), and Central High (2nd, 0 stars).
In 2025–2026, Etude's 10th-grade proficiency results were strong: 66.67% in ACT English language arts, 60.00% in ACT math, and 66.67% in ACT science, each above both district and state averages. Social studies was the exception at 45.45% — above the district's 39.11% but below the state's 48.25%. Etude's math and science results topped Plymouth High, Howards Grove High, Sheboygan Falls High, and all district peers, though Oostburg High and Kohler High remained ahead. Subgroup outcomes are a standout: male students rank 9th of 462 (98th percentile) and special education students 6th of 333 (98th percentile), while low-income students rank 106th of 446 (76th percentile) — notable given a 62.34% free/reduced-lunch rate and a favorable 12.8 student-teacher ratio.
The clearest challenge is attendance and completion. Chronic absenteeism was 43.5% in 2024–2025, more than double the state's 17.3% and the district's 21.5%, though improving from 51.3% two years earlier. The graduation rate of 84.2% trails the district's 88.1% and the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate of 2.9% is above the district's 1.7% and the state's 1.1%. With only 77 students, results can swing sharply from year to year, so families should watch whether the recent academic gains hold while attendance and completion gaps close.
