Summary:
The Kaukauna Area School District in Wisconsin serves elementary students across five schools with a combined enrollment of 1,674: Dr H B Tanner Elementary (PK–1), Quinney Elementary (2–4), Haen Elementary (1–4), New Directions Learning Community (PK–4), and Park Community Charter School (PK–4). The district ranks 90th of 432 districts in the state — the 79th percentile — with 4 stars, and in 2025–2026 every tested school scored above the state average in every listed subject and grade.
New Directions and Park are the clear academic standouts. New Directions has the lowest chronic absenteeism (3.5%), the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (17.41%), and the lowest per-student spending ($10,984), and it ranked in the 88th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026 after peaking in the 99th percentile in 2023–2024. Park also ranked in the 88th percentile with 4 stars and posted the highest single result in the group, 78.57% in 3rd-grade math. Quinney sits in the middle: low absenteeism (6.6%), 70th percentile, 3 stars, above the state everywhere but below the district in three of six measures.
Haen faces the greatest challenges — the highest chronic absenteeism (11.7%), the highest free/reduced lunch rate (51.39%), and the highest spending ($15,878) — and is the lowest-ranked tested school at the 53rd percentile, though it improved in 3rd-grade ELA and math and stayed above the state in all six measures. Tanner, a PK–1 school, has no test scores to compare, but is the largest school with 466 students and 7.9% absenteeism. District-wide proficiency dipped from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all six listed measures.
