Summary:
Maple Dale School is the only middle school in Fox Point, Wisconsin, serving grades 4–8 with 224 students in the Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District. It is a consistently elite, 5-star school. The district ranks 15th out of 432 districts statewide (97th percentile, 5 stars). Maple Dale ranked 35th out of 643 schools in 2025–26 (95th percentile), after 22nd out of 628 in 2024–25 and 23rd out of 641 in 2023–24—each at 96th percentile or higher. Although 2025–26 was a slight step back, the school remains in the top 5% of Wisconsin schools.
On the 2025–26 Forward Exam, Maple Dale averaged about 80.8% proficient across reported grade-subject rows, compared with about 55.4% statewide—a gap of roughly 25.5 percentage points. Subject averages were 80.9% in English Language Arts, 79.9% in mathematics, 85.5% in social studies, and 78.4% in science; state averages were 54.4%, 53.5%, 65.1%, and 52.7%, respectively. Grade-level highlights include 4th grade ELA at 88.64%, math at 86.36%, social studies at 90.91%, and science at 81.82%. The relative low point was 6th grade ELA and math at 75.0%, still far above state norms. Year over year, ELA rose 5.9 points, math 0.4, science 3.6, while social studies slipped 1.5 points.
Context is important: the school reports 0.0% dropout, 5.4% chronic absenteeism (state: 17.3%; district: 4.0%), a 1.34% free/reduced lunch rate, $21,519 per-student spending, and a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio. In every reported Forward Exam row, the school value equals the district value. With only about 45 students per grade, small cohorts can cause large percentage swings, so year-to-year grade changes should be read cautiously. Even so, every 2025–26 Maple Dale score is at least 75% proficient, higher than the highest reported state score in this data set. For parents, this is a very high-performing, well-resourced school with strong results across subjects; 4th grade stands out, and 6th grade is the relative dip, though still well above state averages.
