Summary:

ZIP code 54246 has one high school, Washington Island High, part of Washington Island School District in Washington Island, WI; it serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 23 students. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local peer schools to compare, so the useful benchmarks are the district and Wisconsin. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 8.5 and per-student spending of $35,744. Its small size means each student represents about 4.3% of enrollment, so year-to-year percentage changes can be volatile.

For parents, several indicators are encouraging. In 2024–2025, 10th-grade ACT mathematics proficiency was 50%, above Wisconsin's 42.73%. The dropout rate was 0.0%, compared with 1.1% statewide. The 2020–2021 graduation rate was 100.0% for both the school and district, though the 2024–2025 school-level graduation rate was not reported. Historically, the school ranked 6th of 450 in 2009–2010 and 15th of 438 in 2008–2009 with 5 stars, but by 2011–2012 it ranked 339th of 452 at the 25th percentile; those rankings are old and should not be treated as current performance.

The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 39.1% in 2024–2025, far above the district's 18.3% and the state's 17.3%. That is about 2.1 times the district rate and 2.3 times the state rate. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so it is unknown rather than 0%. Overall, Washington Island High is very small, well-funded, with a low student-teacher ratio, above-state math proficiency, no reported dropouts, and a strong 2020–2021 graduation rate, but chronic absenteeism is a major issue to ask about.
