Summary:
ZIP code 54470 contains just one high school: Rib Lake High, a grades 9–12 school with 149 students in Rib Lake, Wisconsin, operating within the Rib Lake School District. Because it is the only high school in this area, the most useful comparison is between this school and its district and state averages — and by that measure, it performs well overall.
The school earned a 4-star rating in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and its district also holds a 4-star rating, ranking 64th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, or the 85th percentile. The school's own rank rose from 218th of 431 schools (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 114th of 431 (74th percentile) in 2024–2025, then stood at 153rd of 533 (71st percentile) in 2025–2026. Graduation and dropout outcomes are strong: a 96.5% graduation rate, above the state's 92.0%, and a 0.0% dropout rate versus the state's 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, well below the state's 17.3%, though above the district's 4.6%. Social studies (60.53% proficient vs. the state's 48.25%), science (54.29% vs. 43.20%), and English language arts (54.29% vs. 48.47%) all exceed state averages.
Mathematics is the main outlier. Math proficiency fell from 50.00% in 2024–2025 — 7.27 points above the state — to 37.14% in 2025–2026, which is 5.79 points below the state's 42.93%. With only 149 students, a single class can shift results sharply, so this may be one-year volatility rather than a trend. About 44.3% of students receive free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,819, and the student-teacher ratio is 12:1, giving families useful context on resources.
