Summary:
ZIP code 53504 is home to a single public high school: Argyle High, which serves grades 9–12 as part of the Argyle School District in rural Wisconsin. With only 85 students enrolled, it is a very small school with small classes — a 9.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio — and about 34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Because Argyle High is the district's only high school, school-level and district-level results are nearly identical, so families can read the two sets of figures as one picture.
Argyle High's results have improved dramatically. In 2025–2026 it ranked 95th out of 533 high schools statewide — the 82nd percentile with 4 stars — up from 1 star and the 23rd percentile the year before. ACT proficiency beat the state in English language arts (70.83% vs. 48.47%), science (62.50% vs. 43.20%), and mathematics (54.17% vs. 42.93%). Completion and attendance are exceptional: a 100% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and 1.2% chronic absenteeism, compared with statewide figures of 92%, 1.1%, and 17.3%. The district's absenteeism rate is even lower, at 0.4%.
The main caution is Social Studies. In 2024–2025 it was a clear strength at 73.91%, well above the state's 47.67%, but in 2025–2026 it fell to 42.86%, below the state's 48.25% — the only subject below the state average, and a 31-point drop. Because the school enrolls just 85 students, a handful of students can move percentages by tens of points, so families should weigh multi-year trends more heavily than any single year. Per-student spending is $16,882, and the data provides no state average for comparison.
