Grantsburg School District is one of 373 districts across the United States and Canada that has earned the distinction of inclusion on the AP Honor Roll (9th Annual).  This is a district award shared by both high schools. Congratulations to our AP students, teachers, and parents.  This award only comes through the focused hard work of many!

Congratulations again this year to the Grantsburg School District for earning “Exceeds Expectations” on the State Report Card! Grantsburg High School and Grantsburg Middle School also earned “Exceeds Expectations” on State Report Cards. The Wisconsin State Report Card uses three years of past State assessment data and assigns importance to achievement growth over time, closing the achievement gaps between student subgroups, and data that indicates if students are on track to graduate with the appropriate skills.

Grantsburg High School continues to receive numerous awards for student achievement. In 2020 U.S. News and World Report analyzed academic and enrollment data for more than 24,000 public high schools in the nation and awarded GHS the America’s Best High School - National Award. Previously GHS earned recognition from the U.S. News and World Reports in 2008, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. For the third year in a row and the fifth time in seven years, GHS received the Advanced Placement Pacesetter award. Pacesetter schools have provided impressive student access to AP courses and posted excellent AP exam results.

In 2020, GHS was also recognized by Newsweek Magazine as being a top STEM high school. This distinction was earned by having strong programs across the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum. In 2013, GHS was also selected as one of Newsweek’s “America’s Best High Schools”. This Newsweek ranking highlighted the best 2,000 public high schools in the nation - those that have proven to be the most effective in preparing college-ready graduates. These distinctions place GHS as one of the top public high schools in the nation and in the state of Wisconsin.
