Summary:
Juneau, Wisconsin has three public schools — Dodgeland Elementary (PK–5, 315 students), Dodgeland Middle (6–8, 140 students), and Dodgeland High (9–12, 233 students) — all part of the Dodgeland School District, sharing one campus at 401 S Western Ave, with 688 students enrolled in total. The district overall is rated 349th of 432 in Wisconsin (19th percentile, 1 star), but that single rating masks very different stories at each school.
Dodgeland Middle is the standout. It ranks 321 of 643 (50th percentile, 3 stars) — the only 3-star school in this group — after improving from 40th percentile and 2 stars. Its 8th graders score 62.79% proficient in mathematics versus 53.67% statewide, and 53.49% in science versus 51.86%. The concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 25.0%, the highest of the three schools and well above the state's 17.3%.
Dodgeland High graduates 96.4% of its students, above the state's 92.0%, with a dropout rate of 1.7%. Yet its current 10th-grade ACT results trail the state in every reported subject, most sharply in science (27.08% vs. 43.20%) and mathematics (31.25% vs. 42.93%). Dodgeland Elementary has the best attendance in the group at 11.1% chronic absenteeism, but its rank has slid from 55th percentile and 3 stars down to 28th percentile and 1 star. Its 4th graders are far below state in ELA (29.79% vs. 53.87%), social studies (38.30% vs. 65.51%), and science (31.91% vs. 53.46%), while 3rd and 5th grade ELA sit close to state averages. Because these schools are small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
