Summary:
Zip code 54446 is served by a single high school, Loyal High, which is part of the Loyal School District. Located at 514 W Central in Loyal, Wisconsin, the school serves grades 9–12, has 168 students, and reports a student-teacher ratio of 12.8 with per-student spending of $21,030 for 2024–2025.
For parents, the most encouraging news is in completion and attendance. Loyal High posted a 97.3% graduation rate in 2024–2025, which matches the district and is 5.3 percentage points above Wisconsin's 92.0%. Its dropout rate of 0.6% is below the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 15.3% is below the state's 17.3%, although both of those figures are slightly higher than the district's 0.4% and 9.1%. Test results are more mixed. Social Studies is the clear bright spot: 54.55% of 10th graders were proficient on the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, 6.30 points above the state's 48.25%, up from 35% the year before. ACT proficiency, however, trails the state in every subject — ELA at 35.9% vs. 48.47%, Mathematics at 25.64% vs. 42.93%, and Science at 28.21% vs. 43.20%. Math is the largest gap, down from 34.88% the prior year.
The school's ranking trajectory is moving upward: it improved from 1 star and roughly the 11th–12th percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 31st percentile in 2025–2026. The district itself remains ranked 389 out of 432 statewide, at the 10th percentile with 1 star. Because Loyal High is small, year-to-year proficiency swings can reflect cohort differences, so trends are worth watching over time rather than judging from a single year.
