Summary

Viroqua High is a 9–12 public high school serving 301 students in Viroqua, Wisconsin, part of the Viroqua Area School District, which ranks 73rd of 432 Wisconsin districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars).

Viroqua High's 2025–26 school rank is 123rd of 533 high schools — 77th percentile, 4 stars — the highest in its recent history and a sharp rebound from 2024–25, when it placed 268th of 431 (38th percentile, 2 stars). That rebound showed up in test scores: 10th graders scored above the state in all four tested subjects in 2025–26 — Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science — after ELA and Science dipped below the state the year before. Compared with nearby schools, Viroqua is strong but not first everywhere. Westby High is higher in ELA and Science, North Crawford High is higher in Social Studies, and Kickapoo High is essentially tied in Math. Viroqua's edge is consistency: the top 2025–26 overall rank among the nearby other-district high schools, with above-state results across the board.

Outcomes and resources are solid. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 95.1% (state: 92.0%), dropout was 0.6% (state: 1.1%), and chronic absenteeism was 12.5% (state: 17.3%), though Cashton Middle/High and North Crawford reported lower absenteeism. Per-student spending was $15,681 — close to Westby's and below several nearby districts — with a student-teacher ratio of 12.9. A standout is the school's effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students: 95th percentile, 5 stars, in 2025–26. Two areas to monitor: Special Education Students ranked 41st percentile, 2 stars, in 2025–26, and the White Students subgroup effectiveness ranking fell to 9th percentile, 0 stars, in 2024–25, with no 2025–26 value available. Same-district Laurel High (43 students) posts very high results but is not directly comparable, while Vernon County Area Better Futures High (18 students) has a 57.1% graduation rate.
