Summary

Big Foot High is a public high school in Walworth, WI, serving grades 9–12 with 437 students, and it is the high school of the Big Foot Union High School School District, which ranks 268 of 432 Wisconsin districts (38th percentile, 2 stars). The school's own ranking rose to 276 of 533 schools in 2025-26 — 48th percentile, 2 stars — up from 344 of 431 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2024-25, though still below its late-2010s peak. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 33.18%, per-pupil spending is $18,905, and its student-teacher ratio is 14.7.

The school's strongest results are in keeping students in school and on track to graduate. Its 2024-25 graduation rate was 99.1% (state: 92.0%), its dropout rate 0.0% (state: 1.1%), and chronic absenteeism 8.5% (state: 17.3%). Among nearby schools, Burlington High School had lower absenteeism at 3.6%, and Williams Bay High posted a 100.0% graduation rate. Clinton Senior High, Elkhorn Area High, Badger High, and Delavan-Darien High all graduated between 96% and 99% of students but had higher absenteeism — Badger at 20.0% and Delavan-Darien at 17.5%. Big Foot's absenteeism also fell sharply from 20.1% in 2021-22.

Academics are more mixed. In 2025-26, 10th-grade proficiency was 48.78% in Science — above the state's 43.20% and ahead of Williams Bay High — but 47.56% in English Language Arts (state: 48.47%), 40.24% in Math (state: 42.93%), and 39.13% in Social Studies (state: 48.25%). Scores rebounded from 2024-25 in ELA, Math, and Science, while Social Studies slipped. Per-pupil spending of $18,905 is higher than Burlington High School, Elkhorn Area High, and Badger High. Subgroup effectiveness ranks range widely: male students 60th percentile, low-income students 43rd, female students 36th, and special education students 1st percentile in 2025-26 — a sharp swing from 44th the year before that is worth monitoring.
