Summary:
ZIP code 54819 is served by a single public high school: Bruce High, which enrolls 116 students in grades 9–12 and belongs to Bruce School District in Wisconsin. Because it is the only high school in the area, Bruce High defines the entire local high-school picture, and the most useful way to understand it is to compare its numbers with district and state averages.
Academically, the school's results swing a lot from year to year, which is common in a small school where one class can shift the averages. In 2024–2025, Bruce High beat the state in ACT English language arts (56% proficient), mathematics (56%) and science (48%). In 2025–2026, those same ACT subjects fell below the state, at 44% in English language arts, 40% in mathematics and 40% in science. Social studies moved the other way, rising from 43.48% to 50%, which is above the state's 48.25%. Its school ranking reflects that up-and-down pattern: the 20th percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024, a jump to the 65th percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025, then the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026.
For outcomes, the graduation rate is 92.1%, essentially matching Wisconsin's 92.0%. The dropout rate is 1.7%, slightly better than the district's 1.8% but above the state's 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 15.9% — better than the state's 17.3%, but higher than the district's 12.6%. Notably, 94.83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, so the school serves a high-poverty population, and results should be read with that in mind. Resources are comparatively strong, with $16,930 spent per student and a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio. One caution: the district itself ranks 384th of 432 statewide, at the 11th percentile with 1 star, though that ranking covers all schools and grade levels, not just the high school.
