Summary:
ZIP code 54556 is home to a single high school: Prentice High, which serves grades 9–12 with 105 students in the Prentice School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no nearby high schools to compare it with directly; the most useful comparisons are against its own district and the state of Wisconsin.
Prentice High's most encouraging story is its upward momentum. In 2025–2026 it ranked 245 of 533 schools, placing in the 54th percentile with 3 stars — up from the 27th percentile (1 star) in 2024–2025 and the 15th percentile (1 star) in 2023–2024. That latest standing is stronger than the district's overall 31st percentile, 2-star rating. ACT results in 2025–2026 also beat the state in English Language Arts (54.17% proficient vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (50% vs. 42.93%) and Science (50% vs. 43.2%), with ELA jumping about 25 points from the prior year. Graduation and dropout outcomes are excellent: a 96.4% graduation rate (above the state's 92.0%) and a 0.0% dropout rate.
Two areas need attention. Social Studies is the clearest academic weak spot: 19.05% of 10th graders were proficient on the Forward Exam in 2025–2026, well below the state's 48.25% and down from 39.29% the year before. Chronic absenteeism is the biggest non-academic concern at 26.0%, higher than both the district (19.6%) and the state (17.3%) — roughly 1 in 4 students. Parents should also keep the small enrollment in mind, since with about 105 students a few students can swing proficiency rates significantly. Resource context includes $15,904 per student, a 9.3 student-teacher ratio, and 28.57% free/reduced-price lunch; the data provides no state benchmarks for spending or staffing.
