Summary:
ZIP code 54757 in New Auburn, Wisconsin contains a single public high school — New Auburn High — which serves grades 9–12 with 99 students, so there are no neighboring high schools to compare it against; the meaningful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Wisconsin.
The school's completion and climate numbers are strong. It graduates 95.8% of students against Wisconsin's 92.0%, records a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1% statewide, and has chronic absenteeism of 12.2% compared with 17.3% statewide — although that is higher than the 9.9% across New Auburn School District, meaning the high school is pulling the district average upward. Its academic ratings have slipped, however: after a 4-star, 78th-percentile showing in 2023–24, New Auburn High is now rated 2 stars at the 44th percentile, following a 42nd-percentile year. The district itself is rated lower, at 1 star and the 18th percentile, which most plausibly reflects its elementary and middle schools rather than the high school.
Test results are mixed and swing sharply from year to year. Tenth-graders reached 64.71% proficiency in social studies on the Forward Exam versus the state's 48.25%, and 48.39% in ACT mathematics versus 42.93% — but 29.03% in ACT English language arts against 48.47% statewide, and 35.48% in ACT science against 43.2%. The prior year ran the other way in several subjects (ELA 52%, social studies 37.93%), and with roughly 25 students per grade, a handful of students can move a percentage by several points. Mathematics has only one year of results, so no trend can be read. The school spends $18,516 per pupil with a 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio, and just 3.03% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch.
