Gibraltar High

Gibraltar High is a public high school in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, serving 165 students across grades 9 through 12. With a 10.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio, students get more direct instructional time than most Wisconsin peers — a tangible advantage that compounds meaningfully in a school this size. The numbers make a strong case.

Gibraltar earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10, rated Exceptional on the MySchoolScout scale. Academic performance comes in at 8.8 and growth at 8.1, meaning the school delivers strong current outcomes and continues moving them forward year over year. Gibraltar outperforms 99% of Wisconsin public schools, and ranks #1 among all 499 public high schools in the state — the top position in a field that spans every secondary school in Wisconsin.

That standing holds up even in cross-level comparisons. At #21 out of 2,102 Wisconsin public schools across all grade levels, Gibraltar sits above the vast majority of elementary and middle schools as well. Small enrollment, strong academics, and consistent growth make this a rare combination for a Wisconsin public high school.

With an enrollment of 165 students, Gibraltar High is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Gibraltar High may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
