Summary:
ZIP code 54615 contains exactly one high school serving grades 9–12: Black River Falls High, part of the Black River Falls School District, with 500 students enrolled.
Since it is the only high school in the area, there is no second local school to compare it against, so the most useful comparison is with district and state figures. The profile is mixed. The graduation rate of 92.3% is just above Wisconsin's 92.0%, and the school's ranking percentile has improved steadily — from 6th percentile in 2023–2024 to 16th in 2024–2025 to 26th in 2025–2026 — although that still leaves it in the bottom quarter of ranked Wisconsin high schools. At the same time, chronic absenteeism is 28.4%, far above the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate of 2.6% is more than double the state's 1.1%.
Test proficiency falls below the state in all four tested subjects. In 2025–2026, Mathematics proficiency was 23.36% versus 42.93% statewide — a gap of nearly 20 percentage points, and the school's biggest weakness. Science came in at 31.78% versus 43.20%, English Language Arts at 37.38% versus 48.47%, and Social Studies at 41.28% versus 48.25%. Results declined year over year in three of the four subjects, with math dropping the most (3.74 points) and Social Studies the only gain. School results closely track the district's, running slightly above it in Social Studies and math. Roughly half of students (49.8%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $15,442, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.7.
