Nicolet High School was named a Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education[1] and was listed as one of the 50 best schools in Wisconsin by US News and World Report.[2]

Nicolet spends significantly more money per student than any other comparative high school in Wisconsin in order to ensure a high quality of education.[3] In addition, its teachers, almost all of whom have a master's degree or a doctorate, are both the most-experienced and highest paid teachers in the state.[4]

In 2013, as reported in an article by Beverly Taylor that appeared on CNN's website, five students from the high school got a perfect score of 36 on the ACT college entrance exam (nationwide, only 781 out of 1.66 million students got a perfect score in the graduating class of 2012). Of the 257 seniors, 50 got a 30 or higher that same year.[5]
