Pecatonica High is part of the Pecatonica Area School District, which is ranked 171 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Pecatonica High has seen significant improvement in recent years, moving from 352nd out of 391 high schools in 2021-2022 to 179th out of 431 high schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments is generally strong, with students outperforming the state average in several subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. However, the school's Mathematics scores are closer to the state average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,856 suggest a commitment to supporting student learning and success.
While the school has a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population, with 30.84% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it has maintained a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. These positive indicators, along with the school's improvement in statewide rankings, suggest that Pecatonica High is providing a quality education to its students and is well-positioned to continue supporting their academic and personal growth.
