An overview of Superior public schools
The federal directory lists 8 public schools in Superior, WI: 5 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high, 1 combined or other. The 8 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 3,900 students, an average of 488 per school. The largest campus is Superior High (1,256 students), and the largest elementary school is Northern Lights Elementary (453).
Every listed school belongs to Superior School District. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.2:1, higher than the statewide school median of 13.2:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 15% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
