Summary:
Stratford, Wisconsin is served by three public schools in the Stratford School District: Stratford Elementary (PK–5, 328 students), Stratford Middle (6–8, 163 students), and Stratford High (9–12, 277 students), for a total of 768 students. No alternative schools appear in the listed data. The district itself ranks 77th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars.
Each school stands out for different reasons. Stratford Elementary has the strongest academics, ranking 150 of 1039 (86th percentile) in 2025–2026, with 5th grade math at 87.27% proficient against the state's 51.81%. Stratford Middle spends the most per student ($15,140) and keeps math strong in grades 6–8, but ranks lowest of the three at the 70th percentile, and its 8th grade ELA (46.94%) and Science (44.90%) are the only below-state results in 2025–2026. Stratford High leads on outcomes, with a 98.4% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and 3.6% chronic absenteeism versus the state's 17.3%.
One trend applies to all three: rank percentiles have slipped over three years — elementary from 96 to 88 to 86, high school from 93 to 91 to 80, and middle school from 88 to 80 to 70. The high school moved from 5 stars to 4 stars in 2025–2026. Even so, every school remains above its state comparison average, and strong attendance is a district-wide strength.
