Summary:
Zip code 49457 is home to a single elementary school, Twin Lake School, which serves grades PK through 4 with 205 students in the Reeths-Puffer Schools district.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Twin Lake School shows a clear split in performance by grade level. In the most recent school year (2025-2026), 4th graders are doing well—their math proficiency (36.8%) is close to the state average (39.4%), and their English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency (39.5%) actually beats the district average (36.4%) and nearly matches the state (41.3%). However, the current 3rd grade class is struggling significantly, with only 23.1% proficient in ELA and 25% in math—well below both district and state averages. This contrast is why the school’s overall state ranking dropped from 723rd (3 stars, 51st percentile) in 2024-2025 to 952nd (2 stars, 36th percentile) in 2025-2026. The school’s 4th grade scores are actually higher than the district’s, so the ranking decline is driven almost entirely by the 3rd grade cohort’s poor performance.
Looking at the bigger picture, Twin Lake School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which supports individualized attention. Over half of its students (51.71%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet chronic absenteeism is a relative strength at 19.9%—much better than the district’s 28.5% and the state’s 27.9%. A notable pattern emerges when tracking cohorts: the 3rd grade class of 2024-2025 excelled (51.5% math proficiency), but when that same group moved to 4th grade in 2025-2026, their math proficiency fell to 36.8%, suggesting a possible curriculum or testing rigor shift. Meanwhile, the new 3rd grade class is underperforming across the board. This “two-tiered” profile points to a need for targeted intervention in 3rd grade, while 4th grade demonstrates the school’s capacity for strong outcomes.
