Summary

Shiocton High is a small rural public high school serving grades 9–12 in Shiocton, Wisconsin, with 208 students, and it is the primary high school of the Shiocton School District. It is ranked 165 of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 (69th percentile, 3 stars) — the highest position in its decade of reported history. That marks a dramatic turnaround: in 2023–2024 the school ranked 376 of 431 (13th percentile, 1 star), and it had sat mostly in 1-star territory since 2016–2017.

Academically, 2025–2026 10th-grade proficiency was above state averages in every tested subject: social studies 54% (state 48.25%), English language arts 50% (state 48.47%), math 50% (state 42.93%), and science 50% (state 43.2%). Just two years earlier, Shiocton was below state in all four. Among nearby schools, Shiocton outperforms Seymour High, West High, and Appleton Technical Academy in most measures and is roughly comparable to North High, but it trails New London High, Hortonville High, and Freedom High in ELA and science — though its math and science results hold up well against Freedom despite a higher free/reduced-lunch rate.

Attendance and completion are standout strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 2.9% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 17.3% and second-lowest among nearby schools behind only Hortonville High. The graduation rate was 94.5% with a 0.0% dropout rate. The school is especially effective for low-socioeconomic-status students (89th percentile) and female students (84th percentile), while male students rank at the 46th percentile — a clear gap to watch. Shiocton spends $20,178 per student, the most among nearby schools, with the lowest student–teacher ratio (11.9). Because cohorts are small, one year's scores can swing; the multi-year trend is the better signal.
