Summary:
ZIP code 54619 — Cashton, Wisconsin — is served by a single high school, Cashton Middle/High, which belongs to the Cashton School District. It is a combined middle-and-high school serving grades 6 through 12 with 313 students, or roughly 45 students per grade. About 35.46% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student–teacher ratio is 10.7, and per-student spending is $14,820. The district ranks 267th of 432 in the state with a 2-star rating.
Where the school shines is engagement and completion. Its 97.9% graduation rate beats the state's 92.0%, the dropout rate is 0.0% against 1.1% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is just 3.3% versus 17.3% across Wisconsin. Middle-grade test results are also a clear strength: in 2025-26, 7th grade Math scored 73.53% proficient against 55.67% statewide, and 8th grade Social Studies scored 72.5% against 64.63%. Six of nine Forward Exam results were above state that year.
High-school testing is the weak spot. All three 10th grade ACT subjects fell below state in 2025-26 — ELA 34.78% vs. 48.47%, Science 34.78% vs. 43.2%, and Math 36.96% vs. 42.93% — after ACT Math had been above state the year before. Eighth grade ELA (47.5% vs. 54.38%) and 10th grade Social Studies (43.9% vs. 48.25%) also lagged, and sixth grade Math slipped below state at 50.0% vs. 53.6%. Statewide, the school's percentile has drifted from 44 to 37 to 35 over three years. In short, this is a school that reliably gets students to class and to graduation, but still needs to convert that into college-ready test scores.
