Sheboygan Falls High in Sheboygan Falls, WI, is a 9–12 school with 511 students in the Sheboygan Falls School District, serving a community with a moderate socioeconomic profile compared with nearby districts. In 2025–2026 it ranked 290th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), down from the 60th percentile in 2023–2024 and 55th in 2024–2025.
In 2025–2026, 10th-grade proficiency was at or below the state in all four tested areas: Social Studies 43.59% vs. 48.25%, ELA 48% vs. 48.47%, Math 37% vs. 42.93%, and Science 43% vs. 43.2%. Sheboygan Falls High outperformed South High, Central High, and George D Warriner High School for Personalized Learning in most subjects, was mixed against North High, but trailed Plymouth High, Howards Grove High, Oostburg High, and Kohler High. Recent scores are uneven: ELA fell from 62.02% to 48%, Science from 49.61% to 43%, and Math from 41.86% to 37%, while Social Studies improved to 43.59% but remains below state. Completion is stronger: graduation was 93.8% (state 92.0%) and dropout 0.6% (state 1.1%). Chronic absenteeism was 11.0%, better than the state’s 17.3% and many urban neighbors, but worse than the district’s 6.6%, Oostburg’s 7.5%, and Kohler’s 3.7%. Low-income students ranked in the bottom quartile (22nd percentile, 1 star), while Special Education students ranked at the 67th percentile. The school spends $15,192 per student, with a 15.1 student-teacher ratio and 27.59% free/reduced lunch.
Overall, Sheboygan Falls High is a middle-tier local option: it graduates students well and outperforms the lower-performing schools in the Sheboygan Area School District, but it is not as strong academically as Oostburg High, Kohler High, Howards Grove High, or Plymouth High in key subjects. The biggest concerns are the recent declines in ELA, Math, and Science, the persistent low-income achievement gap, and absenteeism that is higher than the school’s own district and top nearby districts. Parents may want to ask about academic supports, especially for economically disadvantaged students, and how the school plans to reverse the latest proficiency drop.
