Lake Geneva J1 School District

The Lake Geneva J1 School District serves roughly 1,683 students across five schools — three elementary schools and two middle schools, with no high school or alternative school in this list — and is rated 101st of 432 Wisconsin districts, putting it in the 77th percentile with 4 stars. Enrollment ranges from 551 students at Lake Geneva Middle down to just 14 at Maple Park Charter School, with Central - Denison Elementary (522), Star Center Elementary (339), and Eastview Elementary (257) in between.

Eastview Elementary is the strongest tested school: 4 stars, a 2025–2026 rank of 208 of 1,039 (80th percentile), and an average proficiency of about 69.7% that is above the state in every reported subject. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (36.58%) and the highest reported student-teacher ratio (14.0). Lake Geneva Middle is the district's other 4-star school at the 73rd percentile, strong in math and ELA but with 8th-grade science at 50.30%, just below the state's 51.86%. Star Center Elementary is the most improved, climbing from the 53rd to the 69th percentile. Central - Denison Elementary keeps 3rd-grade scores above state averages despite a dip from last year. Maple Park Charter School has no test scores or rank history, so its academics are not available in this data.

Attendance is a district-wide strength: every school is far below Wisconsin's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate, from 0.0% at Maple Park to 6.1% at Lake Geneva Middle. Social studies is a particular bright spot, with Eastview at 80.56% in 4th grade versus the state's 65.51%. Free/reduced lunch ranges about 20.6 percentage points across schools, and Maple Park spends the most per student at $20,612, while the four other schools sit within about $312 of each other. Families should weigh Maple Park's tiny enrollment — its 0.0% rates can shift with a single student — alongside the strong, above-state results at the district's larger schools.
