Summary:
Edgar School District is a small Wisconsin district made up of three schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — Edgar Elementary (PK–5, 255 students), Edgar Middle (6–8, 120 students), and Edgar High (9–12, 193 students) — with a total enrollment of 568, no alternative schools, and a district-wide rating of 4 stars, ranking 74th of 432 Wisconsin districts (83rd percentile) in 2025–2026.
All three schools currently hold 4 stars, and all three improved their percentile standing over the years available. Edgar Middle is the academic standout, ranked 80th of 643 schools (88th percentile), with 8th grade social studies at 89.47% proficient versus the state's 64.63%, 7th grade ELA at 85% versus 55.33%, and 6th grade math at 80% versus 53.60%. Edgar Elementary climbed from the 49th to the 77th percentile and has the district's best attendance by far — 6.8% chronic absenteeism versus the district's 14.0% and the state's 17.3% — along with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.9. Edgar High rebounded from the 49th to the 75th percentile, posting a 98.0% graduation rate and a 1.0% dropout rate, though its chronic absenteeism of 22.7% is well above both district and state levels.
Test scores sit above the state in nearly every reported subject, with social studies and science especially strong across grade levels. The clearest exception is 5th grade ELA at Edgar Elementary, at 51.22% versus the state's 53.63%. Edgar Middle serves the highest free/reduced-lunch share (32.5%) while spending the least per student ($15,625), whereas Edgar Elementary spends the most ($17,107). Note that Edgar School District's overall rank reflects more than a simple average of its three schools.
