Summary:
ZIP code 54762 in rural Wisconsin is home to a single high school — Prairie Farm High, serving grades 9–12 with about 125 students, or roughly 31 per grade, as part of the Prairie Farm Public School District. Because the school essentially is its district's entire high-school testing population, district figures and school figures are nearly identical and offer no separate comparison point.
Academically, the picture is mixed and volatile. In 2025‑26 the school ranked 282nd of 533 Wisconsin high schools (47th percentile, 2 stars), after an 85th‑percentile, 4‑star year in 2024‑25 and a 51st‑percentile, 3‑star year in 2023‑24. Test scores tell the same story: in 2024‑25 Prairie Farm High beat the state in all four subjects, including math at 60% versus 42.73% and science at 64% versus 43.42%. One year later, social studies (65.22%) and English language arts (61.76%) remained well above state, but math and science fell to 26.47% — roughly 16–17 points below state. Statewide scores barely moved, so this swing was local, not a statewide trend. With only about 25–35 students tested per subject, each student shifts the reported rate by 3–4 points, meaning these percentages are precise but statistically fragile and reflect different groups of students each year, not the same students tracked over time.
The steady strengths are outside the test scores. In 2024‑25 the school posted a 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate against state benchmarks of 92% and 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 12.2% was about 5 points better than the state's 17.3%. Resources are strong — $18,515 per pupil and an 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio — and 32% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Parents should read this as a small, well-resourced school with dependable humanities results, excellent persistence and attendance, and math and science outcomes too unstable across two years to judge confidently.
