Summary

Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) is a large public high school serving grades 10–12 with 1,478 students in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, part of the Stevens Point Area Public School District. SPASH has climbed steadily in statewide ranking, moving from the 39th percentile with 2 stars in 2022–2023 to the 66th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 71st percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026 — 32 percentile points in three years, and well above its district's overall 51st percentile. Among nearby high schools, SPASH sits just behind Mosinee High (80th percentile) and roughly level with Amherst High (71st).

On 2025–2026 10th-grade tests, SPASH scored above both its district and the state in all four reported subjects, with science the clear strength at 54.09% proficiency — 10.89 points above the state — and math 6.39 points above. It outperforms Lincoln High and River Cities High by wide margins, though Mosinee leads in English language arts, math, and science, and Amherst posts much higher ELA results. Completion outcomes are a strength: a 93.4% graduation rate (above the district's 92.6% and the state's 92.0%) and a 0.4% dropout rate, far below the state's 1.1%. The main concern is chronic absenteeism at 21.0%. That is an improvement from 30.0% in 2021–2022, but it remains above the district (17.7%) and state (17.3%), and above Mosinee, Amherst, and Rosholt High.

SPASH's student-teacher ratio jumped from 15.0 in 2022–2023 to 18.1 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby listed schools, which may point to capacity pressure. Per-pupil spending is mid-pack at $16,389 — more than Mosinee or Lincoln, less than Amherst, Rosholt, or Point of Discovery School. About 30.18% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Subgroup effectiveness has improved notably, including low-income students (45th to 61st percentile) and special education students (18th to 51st). Overall, this is an improving, above-state school with attendance as the item to watch.
