Summary
Siren High is a public middle-and-high school in Siren, Wisconsin, serving 193 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Siren School District. Its overall academic standing is low: Siren High ranked 402nd of 533 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026 (25th percentile, 1 star), and the district ranks 407th of 432 (6th percentile, 0 stars). Recent years have placed the school mostly in the bottom quarter of state rankings, though 2025–2026 was an improvement over the two prior years.
Compared with nearby schools, Siren is the lowest-ranked: Luck High (47th percentile, 2 stars), Grantsburg High (53rd, 3 stars), Webster High (58th, 3 stars), and Frederic 6-12 School (89th, 4 stars) all rank higher. One striking pattern is that Siren's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 94.2% is above the state's 92.0% but below every one of those schools, while its dropout rate (2.4%) and chronic absenteeism rate (29.2%) are the highest in the group — absenteeism is well above the state's 17.3%. In other words, students who stay enrolled tend to graduate, but attendance and keeping students enrolled are real challenges. Absenteeism has improved from 39.4% in 2023–2024.
Test results are below the state and below every nearby school in the four high-school measures reported for 2025–2026: 10th-grade social studies (45.45%), ACT English/language arts (33.33%), ACT math (27.78%), and ACT science (22.22%, versus 43.20% statewide). Middle-grade reading and math results are also below state averages, with the largest gap in 8th-grade math (28.57%). There are bright spots: 8th-grade social studies (57.14%) and science (47.62%) are relative strengths and improved over the prior year, and in 2022–2023 the school's low-income students ranked in the 67th percentile with 3 stars. Siren spends $20,847 per student — among the highest in the comparison group — with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4, so resources are not obviously the barrier. Priority areas are attendance, early math and reading, and ACT readiness.
