Summary

Somerset High is a public 9–12 school in Somerset, Wisconsin, serving 453 students as part of the Somerset School District in the St. Croix River Valley area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 144th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars), while the district ranked 99th of 432 districts (77th percentile, 4 stars). That places it in the top quarter statewide, but mid-sized locally: smaller than Hudson High, New Richmond High, and River Falls High, yet similar in size to Osceola High, Saint Croix Central High, and Baldwin-Woodville High.

Somerset's standout strengths are attendance and completion. Its 98.9% graduation rate, 0.2% dropout rate, and 3.8% chronic absenteeism rate are far better than the state's figures (92.0%, 1.1%, and 17.3%), and its absenteeism rate is the lowest among nearby comprehensive high schools. Academically, Somerset scored above the state in all four reported subjects in 2025–2026: Social Studies (56.99% vs. 48.25%), English Language Arts (55.79% vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (46.32% vs. 42.93%), and Science (49.47% vs. 43.2%). Against nearby high performers, though, it lands mid-pack — Social Studies is a relative strength, while Math trails Hudson, New Richmond, Baldwin-Woodville, River Falls, and Osceola.

Two areas are worth watching. Somerset's effectiveness rank for low-income students dropped to the 38th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, down from the 72nd percentile a year earlier — a notable shift, though subgroup results can be volatile when group sizes are small. The school also flipped a gender pattern: male students now rank 79th percentile and female students 60th, the reverse of the prior two years. Resources look reasonable: $15,150 per student and a 14.7 student-teacher ratio, more favorable than most nearby high schools, with higher spending than River Falls or Baldwin-Woodville even though those schools score better in several subjects. Overall, families should see Somerset as a strong, above-state school with excellent completion outcomes and room to grow in math and subgroup support.
