With the first slate of scheduled games in the books for the exciting 2025-26 season, it's time to take an initial look at High School on SI Wisconsin's Top 25 state girls basketball rankings.

Considering the impressive talent, depth, and long-standing tradition of so many powerhouse programs competing within the WIAA's five respective divisions, it was a challenging task narrowing the field of teams into an elite list of potential front-runners. Although several top-notch programs were ultimately left off the rankings, the legitimate contenders will fittingly rise to the top and make their presence known each week one meaningful victory at a time.

Kimberly currently holds the top spot in the rankings, Pewaukee follows in second place, Arrowhead is third, Kettle Moraine Lutheran follows in fourth, and Wauwatosa East is fifth.

Kimberly, the defending WIAA Division 1 state champion, started the season strong with five consecutive victories over Brookfield East (53-49), Kaukauna (57-38), Hortonville (57-53), Oshkosh North (57-43), and De Pere (43-42).
