Because there is only one school here, there is no school-to-school comparison within the ZIP; the useful comparisons are against the district and the state of Wisconsin.

Attendance is the clearest strength: chronic absenteeism is 8.2%, below the district's 9.6% and less than half the state's 17.3% — notable for a school where 48.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The graduation rate is 87.5% (matching the district, below the state's 92.0%), the dropout rate is 1.2%, the student-teacher ratio is 11.7, and per-student spending is $17,136. Academically, 7th-grade ELA was a bright spot at 65.63% proficient versus the state's 55.33%, up about 17 points from the prior year, and 10th-grade ACT ELA was 53.33% versus the state's 48.47%. 7th-grade math was essentially at state level at 56.25%.

Most other results trail the state. The biggest concern is 10th-grade social studies at 22.92% proficient versus the state's 48.25% — a drop of nearly 30 points from the year before. 8th grade was below state in ELA (37.50% vs 54.38%), math, social studies, and science, and ACT math was 33.33% versus the state's 42.93% and declining. The school's rank moved from the 52nd percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 32nd percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, while the district ranks 369 of 432, at the 15th percentile with 1 star. With only 250 students, year-to-year percentage swings can be large, so these results are best read as directional.
