Summary:
ZIP code 54880, covering Superior, Wisconsin, is served by exactly one high school: Superior High, a grades 9–12 campus at 2600 Catlin Ave with 1,256 students. It is the only high school in the Superior School District extract, and the district itself ranks 230 of 432 statewide (47th percentile, 2 stars). Because there is just one school, there is no in-area comparison to make — Superior High is the entire high-school story here, and its profile is mixed rather than uniformly strong.
The strongest signals are completion outcomes and Social Studies. Superior High posts a 98.3% graduation rate, well above the state's 92.0%, and a 0.1% dropout rate against 1.1% statewide. Social Studies proficiency was above the state in both years measured — 52.00 in 2024–2025 and 52.87 in 2025–2026, compared with 47.67 and 48.25 statewide — making it the most stable academic bright spot. Per-student spending is $15,213 and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8, though no state benchmark is provided in this extract to judge those figures.
Two concerns stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 21.9%, above the district's 14.7% and the state's 17.3% — meaning more than one in five students miss enough school to be chronically absent even as graduation rates stay high. Also, the latest ACT results in English Language Arts, Math, and Science fell sharply from the prior year: ELA dropped from 53.13 to 41.83, Math from 40.00 to 33.08, and Science from 41.32 to 31.94, all now below state levels. The ranking trend echoes this, sliding from 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so economic context is unknown.
