Summary:
ZIP code 53913 is home to a single public high school — Baraboo High, serving grades 9–12 with 885 students in the Baraboo School District in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Because there is only one high school in this ZIP code, there are no local comparisons to make; Baraboo High is the only option and the baseline for everything below. The data covers district and school rankings over three years, graduation and dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, 10th-grade test proficiency in four subjects, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio. The free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, so it should be treated as unknown rather than as evidence of low need.
Baraboo High's standout story is recent improvement. It ranked 315 of 431 (27th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 and 319 of 431 (26th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, then jumped to 264 of 533 — the 50th percentile with 3 stars — in 2025–2026. That latest school-level result is stronger than the district's overall ranking of 282 of 432, at the 35th percentile with 2 stars. Test scores rose in all four 10th-grade subjects. Science made the biggest gain, up 7.98 points to 41.79%, and Social Studies rose 5.13 points to 46.84%. English Language Arts reached 47.76%, just 0.71 points below the state, making it the school's strongest relative performance. Math improved 2.68 points to 40.30% but remains 2.63 points below the state and is the lowest of the four subjects.
Graduation and dropout look healthy: the graduation rate is 92.1%, slightly above the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate of 1.1% matches the state. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern at 25.6% — 6.1 points above the district's 19.5% and 8.3 points above the state's 17.3% — which may limit further academic gains. Baraboo High spends $14,574 per student with a 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio, though no district or state comparisons are provided for those figures.
