Summary:
Lake Country School District is a single-school district in Hartland, Wisconsin, containing just one campus: Lake Country School, which is labeled Elementary but actually serves grades PK–8 with 447 students. Because there is only one school, district and school figures are essentially the same. The district ranks 7th of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 98th percentile, with 5 stars — while the school ranks 17th of 1,039 schools in 2025–26, also in the 98th percentile with 5 stars.
Academically, the school performs far above state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–26, math averaged about 90.7% across grades 3–8 versus roughly 53.7% statewide, its strongest area, with 3rd grade at 100% and 7th grade at 95%. ELA averaged about 85.3% against about 54.0% statewide; social studies about 91.3% versus 65.1%; and science about 82.1% versus 52.7%. Every reported grade and subject score beat the state by at least 18.58 percentage points, and by as much as 45.25 points in 3rd grade math. Seventh grade stands out with 95% in both ELA and math, while 6th grade is the relative soft spot at 73.53% ELA and 76.47% math — still comfortably above state, but lower than the school's other grades and down from the prior year.
Averages improved in every subject year over year, rising from about 83.8% overall in 2024–25 to about 87.7% in 2025–26, widening the gap over the state from roughly 29.6 to 32.6 points. Chronic absenteeism was 11.5%, better than Wisconsin's 17.3%, while the reported dropout rate was 1.8% versus 1.1% statewide — a metric to interpret cautiously for a PK–8 school. Just 7.61% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $13,187, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.2. The main thing to watch is the small rank slip from 8th and 10th in the two prior years to 17th, though the school remains a 5-star, top-2% performer.
