Summary:
Rosendale, Wisconsin is home to three public schools — Laconia High, Laconia Elementary School, and Laconia Middle School — all part of the Rosendale-Brandon School District and serving 726 students in grades PK through 12. The district ranks 49th of 432 Wisconsin districts (89th percentile, 4 stars), and all three schools earned 4 stars in 2025–2026.
Laconia Elementary School is the standout for classroom results, averaging about 71.6% proficient across its listed tests versus 54.7% statewide, and posting the lowest chronic absenteeism in the city at 1.7%. It does this despite the lowest per-pupil spending ($10,213), the highest student-teacher ratio (19.2), and the highest free/reduced lunch rate (19.21%) of the three schools. Laconia Middle School is the most improved, climbing from the 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 83rd percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with listed tests averaging about 70.0% proficient against 55.5% statewide.
Laconia High ranks 72nd of 533 Wisconsin high schools (86th percentile, 4 stars) and posts a 93.6% graduation rate, above the state's 92.0%, along with ACT proficiency rates comfortably above state averages. Its relative watch items are a 7.0% chronic absenteeism rate — still far below the state's 17.3%, but above the district's 4.3% — and a 1.8% dropout rate, above both the district (1.3%) and the state (1.1%). Because enrollments are small, ranging from 179 to 318 students, and the tests differ by grade level, these averages are simple comparisons of listed rates rather than official school composites.
