Despite spending $17,751 per student, which is higher than the state average, Butternut High's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years, from a high of 77 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 404 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023. The school is currently ranked 284 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5.
