Summary:
The Frederic School District in Wisconsin is a small district with just two schools — Frederic 6-12 School (grades 6–12, 214 students) and Frederic Elementary (PK–5, 192 students) — serving about 406 students combined, with no separate middle school or alternative school. As a district it ranks 143 of 432 (67th percentile, 3 stars), but that single rating hides two very different schools.
Frederic 6-12 School is the standout. It rose from 33rd percentile (2 stars) in 2023–24 to 89th percentile (4 stars, 61 of 533) in 2025–26. It posts a 100% graduation rate and a 0.5% dropout rate, both better than the state's 92% and 1.1%. In 2025–26, 10 of 12 test entries beat the state, including 10th grade social studies at 77.78% vs. 48.25% and ACT math at 72.22% vs. 42.93%. The main caution is chronic absenteeism of 25.1%, above the district's 18.3% and the state's 17.3%.
Frederic Elementary has moved the other way, slipping from 70th percentile (4 stars) to 37th percentile (2 stars). Its strengths are low chronic absenteeism (9.9% vs. 17.3% statewide), 4th grade social studies at 72.41% vs. 65.51%, and 5th grade math at 57.58% vs. 51.81%. But only 3 of 8 current test entries beat the state, and 4th grade math is the lowest result in the data at 31.03% vs. 52.87%, with 4th and 5th grade ELA also below state. Because grade-level cohorts are small, a few students can swing results, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution.
