Summary:
ZIP code 54563 in Tony, Wisconsin is home to one high school, Flambeau High, which serves grades 9–12 with 129 students as part of the Flambeau School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, families here have a single public option, and the school's small size shapes much of what the data shows — a student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and per-student spending of $19,538, with 51.94% of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch.
The most striking story is a rapid academic turnaround. Flambeau High's state ranking rose from 306th of 431 schools in 2024–2025 (29th percentile, 1 star) to 148th of 533 in 2025–2026 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) — a 43-percentage-point jump in a single year, moving the school from the bottom quartile to the top quartile. Test scores back this up: English Language Arts proficiency climbed from 37.14% to 62.86%, and Science rose from 37.14% to 51.43%, both moving from below the state average to above it. Mathematics improved from 31.43% to 40.00% but remains 2.93 points below the state, the only tested subject still trailing. Social Studies dipped from 59.46% to 52.38% yet stayed 4.13 points above the state. Note that the Flambeau School District as a whole ranks 325th of 432 statewide (25th percentile, 1 star), well below the high school's latest result.
Completion and attendance metrics are the clear areas of concern. Flambeau High's graduation rate is 88.0%, 4 points below the state's 92.0%; its dropout rate of 2.3% is more than double the state's 1.1%; and chronic absenteeism at 22.5% is 5.2 points above the state. The school also trails its own district on all three measures. With only 129 students, one cohort can swing percentages sharply, so the next year of data will show whether the top-quartile performance holds.
