Summary:
The Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District contains a single middle school: Maple Dale School in Fox Point, Wisconsin — a small combined upper-elementary and middle school serving 224 students in grades 4–8, rather than a traditional grades 6–8 middle school. Because it includes 4th and 5th grades, its middle-school numbers partly reflect upper-elementary performance, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing it with traditional middle schools. No test-score values are suppressed in this data set, so the proficiency figures are exact percentages.
Maple Dale School is a top performer by nearly every measure. The district ranks 15th of 432 Wisconsin districts (97th percentile, 5 stars), and the school ranked 35th of 643 in 2025–2026 (95th percentile, 5 stars), after 22nd of 628 and 23rd of 641 in the two prior years. In 2025–2026, proficiency exceeded state averages in every reported grade and subject, often by 20–35 points: ELA 80.9% vs. 54.4% statewide, math 79.9% vs. 53.5%, social studies 85.5% vs. 65.1%, and science 78.4% vs. 52.7%. Fourth grade was the strongest (ELA 88.64%, math 86.36%, social studies 90.91%, science 81.82%), while 6th grade was lowest in ELA and math at 75.00% each — still more than 20 points above state.
Year over year, ELA improved most, from 75.0% to 80.9% (+5.9 points) while the state gained 1.5 points; math held steady near 80%, science rose from 74.8% to 78.4%, and social studies slipped from 86.9% to 85.5% but stayed comfortably above state. Attendance and dropout indicators are strong: chronic absenteeism is 5.4% versus 17.3% statewide (district 4.0%), and the dropout rate is 0.0% for both school and district versus 1.1% statewide. Context is favorable — 1.34% free/reduced-price lunch, $21,519 per student, and a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio — though the data alone do not prove these factors cause the results. Note that grade-level comparisons across years cover different students, so they show schoolwide patterns, not individual growth.
