Summary:
Holmen School District in Wisconsin serves 3,611 students across six schools: four elementary schools covering PK–5, one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12. The district ranks 138th of 432 districts statewide — the 68th percentile — and holds a 3-star rating. Performance is uneven, however: the middle and high schools rank above that district percentile, while all four elementary schools sit at or below it in 2025–2026.
Holmen Middle is the academic anchor, rated 4 stars in all three rank-history years and ranking between the 83rd and 87th percentile. Its average proficiency of about 70.3% far outpaces the comparable state average of roughly 55.5%, and its 8th Grade Social Studies result of 86.51% (vs. 64.63% statewide) is the highest single score in the dataset. Chronic absenteeism is just 2.1%. Holmen High also earns 4 stars, with a 96.4% graduation rate and ACT results above state averages, but its chronic absenteeism of 10.4% is more than double the district's 4.7% and stands out sharply from every other school.
At the elementary level, Sand Lake Elementary is the 2025–2026 bright spot — the only elementary school to improve its average, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.9), though 4th Grade Math is a weak 45.59%. Prairie View Elementary has slipped from the 80th to the 61st percentile, and Evergreen Elementary — the district's highest spender at $17,761 per pupil — now ranks lowest at the 52nd percentile. The shared concern is 4th Grade Math, which fell at every elementary school: the district moved from 65.02% (11.06 points above state) to 50.94% (1.93 points below).
