Summary:
The city of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Elkhart Lake Elementary/Middle and Elkhart Lake High, both part of the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Elkhart Lake Elementary/Middle standing out as an exceptional institution.
Elkhart Lake Elementary/Middle is a standout school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has exceptional proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, with many grades and subjects exceeding 80% proficiency and several grades reaching over 85% proficiency. In contrast, while Elkhart Lake High School also performs well with a 4-star rating, its performance on the ACT exam is more variable, with proficiency rates ranging from 44.19% in Math to 53.49% in English Language Arts.
Both schools have relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as low student-teacher ratios. However, the per-student spending at Elkhart Lake High ($17,347) is significantly higher than at Elkhart Lake Elementary/Middle ($12,407), which may contribute to the observed performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, both schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that addressing factors that contribute to student attendance could be an area of focus for the district.
