Summary:
ZIP code 54742 in Fall Creek, Wisconsin is home to exactly one high school — Fall Creek High, a 9–12 school with 270 students and the only high school in the Fall Creek School District. Because the district operates just one high school, district-level and school-level numbers are identical on every reported measure, so the meaningful comparison is against the state of Wisconsin.
Fall Creek High ranks 71st of 533 Wisconsin high schools (87th percentile, 4 stars) and scored above the state average in all eight subject comparisons across the last two years. Its four-subject average was 56.73 and 58.12 versus state averages of 45.61 and 45.71 — roughly an 11-to-12-point edge. Math (+15.7, +13.1) and Science (+15.0, +11.4) are the strongest advantages, while Social Studies posted the biggest year-over-year gain (50.00 to 58.21). Keep in mind that with about 66 students tested per subject, one student is worth roughly 1.5 points, so small ups and downs in a single year — like the modest Math and Science dips — amount to only a student or two and are better read as stable, high performance.
Attainment and attendance are also strong: a 96.8% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide, a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%, and 10.4% chronic absenteeism versus 17.3% — though that absenteeism figure runs about 2 points above the district's own 8.4% average. With 18.15% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, the school serves a less economically disadvantaged population than typical for Wisconsin, which helps contextualize its achievement gaps; per-student spending is $13,359 with a 15.4:1 student–teacher ratio. Overall, this is a small school performing above state norms on every reported metric.
