Summary:
The Hartland-Lakeside J3 School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: two elementary schools (North Elementary and South Elementary) and one middle school (North Shore Middle). The district is known for its strong academic performance, with North Shore Middle consistently ranking among the top 10 middle schools in the state.
North Shore Middle stands out as an exceptional school, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 4th out of 628 middle schools in Wisconsin for the 2024-2025 school year. Its students consistently score well above the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 91.89% of 8th-grade students at North Shore Middle were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 53.06%.
While the district as a whole performs well, there are some areas that warrant further attention. All three schools in the district have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%. Additionally, the free and reduced lunch rates vary across the schools, with North Elementary having the highest at 17.9% and South Elementary having the lowest at 13.29%. These factors may indicate potential equity concerns that the district could address to ensure all students have access to the same educational opportunities.
