Summary:
ZIP code 54411 is home to just one high school, Athens High, which serves grades 9–12 with 108 students as part of the Athens School District in a small, rural Wisconsin community. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no other local schools to compare it with directly, so the most useful comparisons are to its own district and to the state as a whole.
Athens High's strongest results are in finishing school and in reading and science. Its graduation rate is 96.1%, above Wisconsin's 92.0% and essentially in line with the district's 96.3%, and its dropout rate is 0.0% against a state rate of 1.1%. Tenth-graders scored 55.17% in ACT English Language Arts and 55.17% in ACT Science in both reported years, both well above state averages (about 48.5% in ELA and roughly 43% in science). Social Studies was 53.57% in 2024–2025, comfortably above the state's 47.67%, before easing to 48% in 2025–2026, nearly matching the state's 48.25%. The clearest area for growth is ACT Mathematics, which came in at 41.38% in 2025–2026 and 37.93% in 2024–2025, below the state both times — though the year-over-year gain of 3.45 percentage points is encouraging.
Other context worth knowing: chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, better than the state's 17.3% but higher than the district's 6.0%, which may reflect a high-school-specific attendance pattern. About 30.56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $25,732, and the student-teacher ratio is 10.6. The school's rank history has climbed steadily — from the 54th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 61st in 2024–2025 and the 66th in 2025–2026, holding 3 stars each year, stronger than the district's overall 2-star, 41st-percentile rating. With only 108 students, year-to-year figures can shift on the performance of just a few students, so small swings should be read with caution.
