Summary:
Elmbrook School District in Wisconsin includes three high schools: two large comprehensive campuses, Brookfield East High and Brookfield Central High, both serving grades 9–12, and Fairview South, a very small school serving grades 5–12 with just 9 students. The district is ranked 9th of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and the two Brookfield high schools are its dominant, high-performing campuses.
Both Brookfield schools are elite in state context. Brookfield East High improved from 22nd of 431 in 2023–2024 to 12th of 533 in 2025–2026, reaching the 98th percentile with 5 stars; Brookfield Central High rose from 31st of 431 to 16th of 533, reaching the 97th percentile with 5 stars. Their strengths are complementary: in 2025–2026 Central posted the higher ELA proficiency (78.45%) and Social Studies (72.67%), while East led in Math (76.55%) and Science (72.80%). The widest subject gap was Science, 7.08 points in East's favor; Central's ELA edge was 3.95 points. Central's ELA rose 8.31 points year over year, while East's rose 4.56 points. Both far exceed state proficiency levels. Graduation rates are near 97% versus the state's 92.0%, dropout rates are essentially zero, and chronic absenteeism is 3.3% at Central and 6.6% at East—both well below the state's 17.3%. Central's student-teacher ratio is lower, 16.8 compared with 17.8.
Fairview South is a clear outlier: 9 students, grades 5–12, a student-teacher ratio of 1, and $84,113 per-student spending in 2022–2023, alongside 33.33% free/reduced-price lunch and 20.0% chronic absenteeism. Because test scores and graduation rates are not provided, its academic performance cannot be evaluated from this data. Enrollment is heavily concentrated, with the two Brookfield high schools accounting for 2,589 of 2,598 listed students, about 99.65%.
