Best High Schools in Zip Code 54241

ZIP code 54241 — Two Rivers, Wisconsin — contains exactly one public high school: Two Rivers High, serving grades 9–12 with 471 students, or roughly 118 students per grade. Because there is only one school here, families are not choosing between local high school options; the useful comparisons are between this school, its district, and the state as a whole. The community it serves is economically mixed rather than high-poverty: about 33.12% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school reports per-student spending of $14,869 with a student–teacher ratio of 12.6 — a reasonably well-resourced setting with relatively small classes.

The school's strongest results are about keeping students in school and getting them across the finish line. Its graduation rate is 98.1%, well above Wisconsin's 92.0% and slightly above its own district's 96.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 13.1%, better than the state's 17.3% — about one in eight students versus roughly one in six statewide. The dropout rate, 1.1%, matches the state exactly. On every test-score measure reported across both years, Two Rivers High also outperforms its district, Two Rivers Public School District. That district-level context matters, because the district is ranked 394th of 432 in Wisconsin — 9th percentile, 0 stars — while the school's own rank history shows 1–2 stars and percentiles of 29, 36, and 35 over three years. In other words, the school is ahead of its local peers but behind the state.

Academic proficiency is the weaker half of the picture. Test scores trail the state in seven of eight measurements, and all four tested subjects declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, with the simple four-subject average falling from 44.0% to 37.7%. Science is the widest gap — 32.29% proficient versus the state's 43.2%, a deficit of 10.91 points — while Social Studies saw the sharpest drop, from 52.00% (above the state) to 39.39% (below it). Mathematics was nearly flat, 38.40% to 37.50%, but remained below state both years. Parents should also note that Social Studies uses the Forward Exam while English Language Arts, Math, and Science use the ACT, so subject-by-subject comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
