Summary:
De Pere School District in Wisconsin enrolls about 4,485 students across six schools: three elementary schools (PK-4), two middle-level schools (grades 5-6 and 7-8), and one high school (grades 9-12). The district ranks 25th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Every school's 2025-2026 proficiency average sits well above the state average for the same tests, with gaps ranging from about +18.6 points to +25.8 points.
De Pere Middle is the academic standout: 19th of 643 middle schools, 97th percentile, 5 stars, with a simple average proficiency of 81.69% — including 8th grade math at 87.65% and 8th grade ELA at 83.24%. It is also the only school that clearly improved year over year. Susie C Altmayer Elementary posts the strongest elementary results (79.17% average, 93rd percentile, 5 stars) and the highest single score in the data, 87.95% in 3rd grade math, despite having the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 24.19%. Foxview Intermediate averages 75.20%, and Heritage Elementary averages 75.96% with the lowest per-student spending ($12,285) and the lowest absenteeism. Dickinson Elementary averages 75.30% with 4 stars, but its 3rd grade math and ELA scores fell sharply. De Pere High graduates 97.7% of students with a 0.1% dropout rate, though its ACT results declined.
Chronic absenteeism rises steadily with grade level, from 1.1% at Heritage to 12.6% at De Pere High; every school remains below the state's 17.3%, though the high school's rate is roughly double the district's 6.6%. Per-student spending ranges from $12,285 to $14,249 but shows no simple relationship with results. Year-over-year changes run from +2.01 points at De Pere Middle to -3.73 points at De Pere High.
