Summary:
ZIP code 54013 has one high school, Glenwood City High, part of the Glenwood City School District, serving grades 9–12 with 186 students at 850 Maple St in Glenwood City, Wisconsin. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, parents should compare it with district and state averages and with its own year-to-year results rather than with other local high schools.
Glenwood City High’s clearest strengths are graduation outcomes and ACT performance. In 2024–2025 it had a 96.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, compared with Wisconsin’s 92.0% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate. In 2025–2026, ACT proficiency was above the state in English language arts (63.83% vs. 48.47%), mathematics (70.21% vs. 42.93%), and science (55.32% vs. 43.20%), with the largest margin in mathematics. Chronic absenteeism was 13.3%, lower than the state’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 8.3%. Its accountability rankings have been strong, at the 81st percentile in 2025–2026, 83rd in 2024–2025, and 94th in 2023–2024.
The main academic watch item is 10th-grade Social Studies on the Forward Exam. It fell from 64.44% in 2024–2025 to 38.24% in 2025–2026, a 26.20-point drop, moving from above the state to 10.01 points below it; in a school of 186 students, one class cohort can shift percentages significantly. Other context: 27.42% free/reduced lunch, $16,635 per-student spending, and an 11.9:1 student-teacher ratio. The district is ranked 193 of 432, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars, while the high school’s recent 81st–94th percentile range appears stronger. Overall, the school offers strong graduation, dropout, ACT, and attendance results relative to the state, but parents should watch the Social Studies decline and the slipping accountability trend.
