Summary:
ZIP code 54230 contains just one high school: Reedsville Junior/Senior High School, a grades 7–12 school with 256 students in Reedsville, Wisconsin, and the only high school in the Reedsville School District. Because it is the sole school in the area, the useful comparisons are the school against the district, against Wisconsin averages, and against its own past performance.
The school's clearest strengths are its completion numbers and its recent middle-grade test gains. Its graduation rate of 95.6% matches the district and beats the state's 92.0%, while its dropout rate of 0.0% matches the district and is below the state's 1.1%. In 2025–2026 Forward Exam results, 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts (61.29% and 57.5% proficient) and 7th grade Math (58.06%) all came in above state averages, following large year-over-year jumps from 2024–2025, when every one of those subjects was below state. Class sizes are small, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4, per-student spending of $16,205, and 21.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
The concerns are college-readiness and attendance. The school's state rank slipped from 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to 38th in 2024–2025 and 25th in 2025–2026, when it placed 398 of 533 schools with a 1-star rating. In 2025–2026 all three 10th grade ACT subjects fell below state averages — ELA at 31.82% versus 48.47%, Math at 27.27% versus 42.93%, and Science at 34.09% versus 43.2% — and 10th grade Social Studies dropped to 39.47% from 53.33% the prior year. Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, above both the district's 14.4% and the state's 17.3%. Parents should note the tension between strong graduation outcomes and weaker readiness and attendance signals.
