Summary:
The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District is a small, high-achieving district in Wisconsin serving about 514 students across two schools: Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Elementary (PK–4, 359 students) and Elkhart Lake High (9–12, 155 students). No middle school is listed, though the elementary's 2024–2025 records include grades 5–8 in ELA and math plus grade 8 social studies and science. The district ranks 17th of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 96th percentile — with a 5-star rating.
The elementary school stands out for consistency, earning 5 stars and staying in the top 8–10% of Wisconsin elementary schools all three reported years: 81 of 1,039 in 2025–2026, 19 of 1,044 in 2024–2025, and 85 of 1,061 in 2023–2024. Its scores beat state averages in nearly every reported subject and grade; in 2025–2026, third- and fourth-grade ELA ran about 33 points above state. The high school stands out for improvement, rising from 3 stars and the 67th percentile in 2024–2025 to 5 stars and the 96th percentile (22 of 533) in 2025–2026, with ACT math and science up roughly 30 and 23 points.
Outcomes are strong: the high school reports a 100.0% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide and a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 1.8% at the elementary and 2.6% at the high school, far below the state's 17.3%. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar (21.17% and 20.65%). The high school spends $16,672 per student, about 31% more than the elementary's $12,729, and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.9 vs. 14). One caution: fourth-grade math fell from 78.57% to 58.06% year over year, still above the state's 52.87%. With small enrollment, a few students can swing percentages substantially.
