Summary

Wauzeka High is a very small public high school in Wauzeka, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 in the Wauzeka-Steuben School District with just 83 students — the smallest enrollment among nearby high schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 279th of 533 Wisconsin high schools, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars, putting it near the state middle; the district ranked 229th of 432. Its history swings widely, from the 86th percentile in 2013–2014 to the 15th in 2024–2025. About 53% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the school spends $22,285 per student — the highest among its neighbors — with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8.

Attendance and completion are clear strengths. Chronic absenteeism was just 1.3% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 17.3% and lower than every nearby school in the data — Lancaster High had 20.3% and Seneca High 16.9%. The graduation rate was 96.4%, above the state's 92.0%, though the dropout rate of 2.4% was above both the state and district figures; with only 83 students, one or two students can move that number noticeably.

Academically, results are mixed. Wauzeka scored above the state in Social Studies (53.33% vs. 48.25%) and Science (47.37% vs. 43.20%), but below in ELA (42.11% vs. 48.47%) and Math (31.58% vs. 42.93%) — math sits 11.35 points behind the state. Fennimore High outperformed Wauzeka in all four subjects, and Prairie du Chien High did so in Social Studies, Math, and Science, while Boscobel High trailed Wauzeka across the board. One thing to watch: in 2025–2026 the school ranked in the 74th percentile for female students but only the 14th percentile for male students, and low-income students ranked in the 35th percentile, down from the 95th in 2017–2018.
