Summary:
The Fond du Lac School District in Wisconsin is home to two high schools: Fond du Lac High and Fond du Lac STEM Academy. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Based on the data provided, the Fond du Lac STEM Academy appears to be the standout school in the district. The STEM Academy has significantly higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests compared to Fond du Lac High and the district/state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the STEM Academy had 71.43% proficiency in 10th grade Social Studies, compared to 42.51% at Fond du Lac High and 47.67% statewide. Additionally, the STEM Academy has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.2, compared to 16.9 at Fond du Lac High.
While both schools have strong 4-year graduation rates of over 91% and low dropout rates of 1.3%, Fond du Lac High's test scores are generally below the district and state averages. This suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's relatively weaker outcomes, despite similar per-student spending levels between the two schools.
