Summary:

ZIP code 54701 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin is served by a single public high school — Memorial High — which enrolls 1,558 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Eau Claire Area School District.

Since it is the only high school in the ZIP code, Memorial High is the only local option — and it performs well above both its district and the state. It earned a top-decile statewide ranking in three consecutive listed years: 49th of 533 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, 34th of 431 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, and 41st of 431 (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024, even as the number of ranked schools changed. The district overall ranks 225th of 432 (48th percentile, 2 stars), so the school stands out sharply from its surrounding district. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 65.44% in 10th-grade Social Studies, 65.92% in ACT English Language Arts, 59.62% in ACT Mathematics, and 59.81% in ACT Science — above the district in every subject and roughly 16.6 to 17.5 points above the state. In 2024–2025, ELA proficiency reached 73.45%, compared with 48.62% statewide.

Completion outcomes are strong: the graduation rate is 93.8% versus 92.4% district and 92.0% state, and the dropout rate is 0.6% versus 1.0% and 1.1%. The clearest watch point is chronic absenteeism at 24.4% — 8.0 percentage points above the district and 7.1 points above the state. Test scores also dipped year over year in ELA, math, and science, though they remain comfortably above district and state levels.
