Summary:
Arcadia School District in Wisconsin serves roughly 1,303 students across three schools: Arcadia Elementary (PK–4, 531 students, the largest), Arcadia Middle (5–8, 359 students), and Arcadia High (9–12, 413 students). There are no alternative schools. As a whole, Arcadia School District ranks 405 of 432 in Wisconsin — the 6th percentile with 0 stars — so most school-level results sit below state averages, though there are clear exceptions.
Arcadia Middle is the district's bright spot: 40th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26 (389 of 643), far above the district's 6th percentile and the 12th and 15th percentiles at Arcadia Elementary and Arcadia High. Its 8th graders beat the state in ELA (59.49% vs. 54.38%), math (58.23% vs. 53.67%), and social studies (77.22% vs. 64.63%), and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.7%. Arcadia High graduates 97.4% of students with a 0.4% dropout rate, both better than state, yet its 10th grade ACT results lag well behind — math 17.39% vs. 42.93%, ELA 29.57% vs. 48.47%. Arcadia Elementary, with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (82.67%), posted every reported test far below state, with gaps of roughly 18–31 points.
Middle school performance varies by grade: current 5th and 6th grade ELA and math are below state, and the current 7th grade ELA result was not provided. Chronic absenteeism is low across the district — 4.7% at the middle school, 7.8% at the elementary, and 14.5% at the high school, all below the state's 17.3%. Spending and class size don't track neatly with results: Arcadia Middle spends the least per student ($13,459) yet performs best, while Arcadia Elementary has the smallest classes (12.1 ratio) but the lowest achievement.
