Summary:
ZIP code 54403 in Wausau, Wisconsin contains two high schools — East High, serving grades 9–12 with 893 students, and Enrich Excel Achieve Learning Academy, serving grades 6–12 with 38 students. Both belong to Wausau School District and list the same address, 2607 N 18th St. Together they enroll 931 students, and East High accounts for roughly 96% of that total, so the two schools offer very different settings even though they share a district.
East High is the larger comprehensive high school and posts the stronger reported outcomes. It ranks 265 of 533 schools in 2025–2026, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars — the only 3-star rating in this pair. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 96.8%, above the district's 90.5% and the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate is 0.4%, below the state's 1.1%. East's clearest academic strength is English language arts, at 52.25% proficient in 2025–2026, above both district and state, and it also beats the state in math at 45.51%. Its weaker subjects are science (39.89%) and social studies (40.1%), both below district and state.
Enrich Excel Achieve Learning Academy is a very small academy-style school with a student-teacher ratio of 7.6, about half of East's 14, and per-student spending of $25,587 — roughly 46% higher than East's $17,522. Its outcomes show real challenges: chronic absenteeism of 55.9% versus East's 26.0%, a dropout rate of 2.2%, and 40% proficiency in ELA, math, and science on 2025–2026 ACT tests, below district and state in each. Its school-level graduation rate is 86.6% for 2023–2024, and the 2024–2025 school-level figure is not reported. Enrich has improved its ranking over time, from the 7th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, though it still trails East. With only 38 students across grades 6–12, its percentages can shift with just one or two students, so they should be read with caution.
