Summary:
Augusta, Wisconsin is home to four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all within the Augusta School District: Augusta Elementary (PK–5, 215 students), Augusta Middle (6–8, 109), Augusta High (9–12, 144), and Wildlands Charter School (6–12, 72), for about 540 students in total. The district overall ranks 195 of 432 in the state, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars, but that middle-of-the-pack profile hides wide differences among its schools, which range from 1 star to 4 stars. All four share one campus address on Bartig Road.
Wildlands Charter School is the standout: 4 stars, 79th percentile (112 of 533), a 100.0% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, and test scores well above state — for example 90.91% proficient in 8th grade ELA and science versus roughly 54% and 52% statewide. It achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($13,597) and the highest student-teacher ratio (14.3), though with only 72 students in grades 6–12 its percentages can swing sharply from year to year. Augusta Elementary is also strong: 3 stars, 68th percentile, up from the 46th percentile in 2023–2024, with 8.9% chronic absenteeism, 4th grade math at 80.77% versus 52.87% statewide, and 4th grade science at 76.92% versus 53.46%.
Augusta High faces the biggest challenges: 1 star, 22nd percentile, an 82.5% graduation rate, 1.4% dropout, 25.0% chronic absenteeism, and ACT results of 25.00% in both ELA and science versus 48.47% and 43.20% statewide, although math ACT (42.50%) is near state level. Augusta Middle is below state but improving — 2 stars, 33rd percentile, up from 21 — with 24.2% chronic absenteeism and notable gaps in 6th grade ELA (36.84% vs 54.95%) and 8th grade science (36.36% vs 51.86%).
