Summary:
Zip code 54428 contains exactly one high school — Elcho High, serving grades 9–12 with 68 students as part of the Elcho School District in Elcho, Wisconsin. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no in-area schools to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school's own prior years. The district overall is ranked 261st of 432 with a 40th percentile score and 2 stars.
Elcho High's strongest results are in completion and improvement. In 2024–2025 it reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, both better than the state's 92% and 1.1%. Social Studies proficiency rose from 50% in 2024–2025 to 69.23% in 2025–2026, far above the state's 48.25% and above the district's 64.29%. The school's ranking improved from 1 star and 28th percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and 57th percentile in 2025–2026, a 29-point gain in percentile. The latest rank number dipped slightly year over year, but the comparison pool grew from 431 to 533 schools, which explains the higher percentile and star rating. Class sizes appear small, with an 8.3:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending is $24,526.
There are clear areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism was 33.3% in 2024–2025, above the district's 25.0% and nearly double the state's 17.3%. ACT results were mixed in 2025–2026: Math was slightly above the state at 43.75%, while ELA at 43.75% and Science at 37.5% were below it, making Science the weakest subject. About 41% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With only 68 students in grades 9–12, a single student can move these percentages noticeably, so year-to-year changes should be read with that small-school context in mind.
