Original Research by School Decision on Mishicot High
Mishicot High is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in the village of Mishicot, a small community in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The school sits on a campus in the northeastern part of the village, attached to the middle school, and is part of the Mishicot School District, which also includes an elementary school. The district and school together serve the village and several surrounding towns.
Mishicot itself is a compact village with a historic core along the East Twin River. It has a quiet, small-town character, with a mix of older and renewed buildings. The population has held fairly steady over recent decades, though a recent estimate suggests a slight decline. The surrounding area includes farmland, rural homes, and wooded patches. Housing in the Mishicot zip code is priced below both the state and national medians, and typical monthly mortgage costs are modest relative to national household income levels. The local economy shows an unemployment rate near the national average.
The high school enrolls roughly the number of students you would expect for a small rural high school. The student body is overwhelmingly white, with a small Hispanic presence and a very small share of students identifying as two or more races or American Indian. About one in five students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a share that is moderate compared to many other schools. Enrollment is split fairly evenly across the four grade levels. No data was available on the number of students with disabilities or English learners.
State assessment results and a four-year graduation rate were not found in the available data. This is a notable gap for a high school, where such measures are typically reported. The data sources used for this profile did not include test scores or graduation outcomes, and the comparison of the school to other districts in Manitowoc County was not possible for these metrics because the values were missing. A parent or guardian may want to contact the school directly to discuss academic performance, course offerings, and post-graduation plans.
No information was available on the school’s specific programs, such as Advanced Placement, dual credit, career and technical education, or extracurricular activities. The data profile did not include any details about course access, staffing ratios, or discipline rates. Likewise, the district brief turned up no recent changes to curriculum, facilities, or property taxes that would be of lasting interest to families.
Mishicot High appears to be a straightforward small-town high school set in a stable community with affordable housing. The lack of public academic data means that families considering this school will need to seek out that information directly from the school or district to understand the academic pathway, support services, and opportunities available to students.
