Summary:
ZIP code 54667 — Westby, Wisconsin — is home to a single public high school: Westby High, serving grades 9–12 at 206 West Ave S with 319 students as part of the Westby Area School District. Because there is only one school here, there is no cross-town comparison to make; the most useful yardsticks are the school's own prior-year results and Wisconsin averages.
Academically, Westby High is a solidly above-average school. It earned 3 stars in each of the last three years and ranked in the 64th percentile of Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 (191st of 533), up from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024. In 10th-grade testing, students scored above the state in English Language Arts (56.52% proficient, +8.05 points), Science (52.17%, +8.97 points), and Mathematics (46.38%, +3.45 points). Social Studies was the exception at 46.07%, 2.18 points below the state — it is also the only subject tested with the Forward Exam rather than the ACT. Two shifts are worth watching: Math fell 7.24 points in a single year while the state barely moved, and Social Studies slipped 2.46 points while the state improved. Science, by contrast, gained 4.34 points.
Completion outcomes are the standout strength: a 97.2% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide, paired with a 0.0% dropout rate. The clearest soft spot is chronic absenteeism at 21.0%, above both the district's 16.5% and the state's 17.3% — the school gets students to graduation, but about one in five is missing enough school to be flagged along the way. Resources include $15,665 in per-student spending and a 13.4:1 student–teacher ratio, with 27.27% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
