Kohler School District

Kohler School District is a small, high-performing district in Kohler, Wisconsin, with three schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — all sharing a single campus at 333 Upper Rd and together serving 747 students. The district ranks 8th of 432 Wisconsin districts overall, placing it in the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and all three schools earned 5 stars in 2025–2026 as well. No alternative school is included in this group.

Rankings separate the three schools slightly. Kohler Elementary, the largest with 337 students, ranked 10th of 1,039 elementary schools (99th percentile) and has been remarkably steady, sitting 8th, 9th, and 10th over the last three years. Kohler Middle, the smallest at 168 students, holds the district's best current state rank at 7th of 643 middle schools and showed the strongest momentum, improving from 27th a year earlier with an average proficiency gain of 6.1 percentage points. Kohler High, with 242 students, ranked 24th of 533 high schools (95th percentile) and posts ideal outcomes — 100% graduation and 0.0% dropout — though its ACT math and science scores declined from the prior year. Every listed 2025–2026 score at all three schools remains above the state average.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism is 3.1% compared with Wisconsin's 17.3%, with Kohler Middle lowest at 2.4%, Elementary at 2.9%, and High at 3.7%. Free/reduced lunch is very low where reported — 0.89% at the elementary and 1.65% at the high school — while the middle school figure is blank, meaning unknown rather than zero. Per-student spending runs from $11,990 at the middle school to $15,283 at the high school, and student-teacher ratios from 14.0 at the elementary to 16.3 at the high school. Social studies is a district-wide strength, topping 88% at every level. The main watch item is high school ACT math and science performance.
