Summary:
Zip code 53572 is served by a single high school, Mount Horeb High, which serves grades 9–12 with 745 students and is part of the Mount Horeb Area School District in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. Because there is only one high school in this area, there are no local peers to compare it with, so the most useful comparisons are against its own district, the state, and its prior-year results.
Mount Horeb High is a consistent standout, earning 5 stars in every ranking year on record and never falling below the 90th percentile. Its most recent ranking is 32 out of 533 Wisconsin high schools—the 94th percentile, or top 6% statewide—up from 90th percentile in 2023–2024. The Mount Horeb Area School District also ranks 44 out of 432 districts, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars. Test proficiency is well above state averages in 2025–2026: Social Studies at 74.12% (more than 25 points above the state), English Language Arts at 69.70% (about 21 points above), Science at 61.82% (about 18 points above), and Mathematics at 57.58% (about 14 points above). Outcomes are strong as well, with a 98.3% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide, a 0.2% dropout rate versus 1.1%, and a 9.4% chronic absenteeism rate versus 17.3% statewide.
Two points are worth watching. Mathematics is the only subject that declined year over year, slipping from 61.93% to 57.58%, though it remains above the state level, and the gap over the state narrowed from +19.20 to +14.65 points. Chronic absenteeism, at 9.4%, is 7.9 points better than the state but 2.0 points higher than the district figure of 7.4%. For context, the school reports 12.08% free/reduced lunch, $16,145 per-student spending, and a 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio; the dataset offers no state or district comparisons for spending or ratio, so those figures simply describe the school environment.
