The 2025 Wisconsin high school football season is heating up! With the first two weeks of games wrapped up, it’s time to dive into the latest High School on SI Wisconsin Top 25 football rankings. This week’s list sees some shake-ups, but one thing remains constant: the team at the top.
Arrowhead maintains its powerful grip on the No. 1 spot after a hard-fought 16-13 victory over No. 4 Neenah. The reigning Classic 8 Conference co-champions have started their season with a dominant 2-0 record, outscoring their first two opponents by a combined 69-35. Their next challenge is a home matchup against No. 21 Waukesha West.
This week also welcomes some new faces to the rankings. After impressive back-to-back wins, Wauwatosa East, Darlington, Menomonie, Waukesha West, and Lake Mills have all broken into the top 25. On the flip side, some prominent teams have fallen out of the rankings entirely. Marquette, Sun Prairie East, Verona, D.C. Everest, and Kaukauna all dropped from the list after starting the season with two consecutive losses.
Below is the complete breakdown of the Wisconsin high school football top 25 rankings for the week of September 4, 2025, including each team’s record, previous ranking, last week’s result, and their upcoming opponent.
