Summary:
ZIP code 54745 contains one high school, Holcombe High, in Holcombe, WI, serving grades 9–12 with 86 students as part of Lake Holcombe School District. Since it is the only high school in this ZIP code, there are no local high-school peer comparisons; the information below describes this single school.
Holcombe High’s strongest academic result is Science: in 2025–2026, 60% of 10th graders were proficient on the ACT Science exam, above the state’s 43.2% and up from 35.29% the prior year. That is the only subject in the data where the school outperformed the state. Other subjects lag well behind: English Language Arts proficiency was 13.33% versus the state’s 48.47%, Social Studies was 20.83% versus 48.25%, and Mathematics was 26.67% versus 42.93%. Graduation and dropout outcomes are positive—95.2% graduation and 0.0% dropout in 2024–2025, both better than state figures. However, chronic absenteeism is 35.4%, more than double the state rate of 17.3% and above the district rate of 25.6%.
The school’s rank percentile improved from 1 in 2022–2023 to 8 in 2024–2025 to 22 in 2025–2026, but it remains in the bottom quarter of ranked schools. Per-student spending is $22,815, the student-teacher ratio is 10.6, and 39.53% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Because enrollment is small, test-score percentages can swing widely from a few students, so the Science gain is encouraging but should be watched over time. For parents, the key strengths are graduation, dropout, and Science; the main areas to ask about are ELA, Social Studies, and chronic absenteeism.
