Summary:
Kewaskum, Wisconsin is served by four public schools — two elementary schools covering PK–5, one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12 — all part of the single Kewaskum School District, which enrolls roughly 1,803 students and ranks 47th of 432 Wisconsin districts (89th percentile, 4 stars).
Among the four, Farmington Elementary is the clear standout: it is the district's only 5-star school and ranked #26 of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025-2026 (97th percentile), up from the 93rd percentile three years earlier. Kewaskum Middle is the quiet overachiever, holding 4 stars while climbing to the 86th percentile (#90 of 643), with the district's lowest student-teacher ratio (13.4) and a 0.0% dropout rate. Kewaskum High posts the strongest outcomes — 95.4% graduation versus 92.0% statewide and 0.6% dropout versus 1.1% — though its ranking has been the least stable (77th to 59th to 78th percentile). Kewaskum Elementary holds steady at the 79th percentile with 4 stars.
Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide superpower: Farmington (0.8%), Kewaskum Elementary (1.9%), Kewaskum Middle (2.4%), and Kewaskum High (7.8%) all sit far below the 17.3% state average. On 2025-2026 assessments, Kewaskum High's 10th graders beat the state by 21.9 points in ACT English language arts, and Kewaskum Middle exceeded the state in all eight tested subject-grade combinations. The most striking finding is the persistent gap between the two elementaries: on 4th grade tests, Farmington leads Kewaskum Elementary by 17.2 points in math, 20.5 in social studies, and 17.9 in English language arts, despite near-identical per-pupil spending and similar student-teacher ratios.
