Summary:
ZIP code 54022 is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12, both part of the River Falls School District in Wisconsin: the large comprehensive River Falls High with 1,062 students, and the very small Renaissance Charter Academy with 49 students, for a combined enrollment of 1,111. River Falls High enrolls about 95.6% of those students. The district is ranked 109 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars.
River Falls High stands out as a strong performer. Its graduation rate is 98.4%, above the district's 97.1% and the state's 92.0%; its dropout rate is 0.2% versus 1.1% statewide; and its chronic absenteeism rate of 4.8% is roughly one-quarter of the state's 17.3%. It earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years, with percentile ranks of 83, 89, and 84. In both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 it scored above district and state in every reported subject. Its biggest margins over the state were about 16.5 points in Social Studies (64.75% versus 48.25%) in 2025–2026 and about 18.1 points in English Language Arts (66.67% versus 48.62%) in 2024–2025. Some subject scores did dip year over year, yet remained above district and state.
Renaissance Charter Academy has a very different profile and context: 49 students, a student-teacher ratio of 9.5 versus 15.9, per-student spending of $17,807 versus $12,835, and a free/reduced-lunch share of 38.78% versus 15.44%. Its reported outcomes are less favorable — an 85.1% graduation rate, a 3.4% dropout rate, and 48.8% chronic absenteeism, a striking 44-point gap from River Falls High. No current test-score rows are provided for the school, so those values should be treated as unavailable, not zero; its only ranking history is from 2005–2006 and is too old to judge current performance. Parents should weigh these differences carefully given the small enrollment and differing student profile.
