Summary:
Elementary students in the Lake Geneva J1 School District attend one of three schools: Central - Denison Elementary (PK–3, 522 students), Star Center Elementary (PK–5, 339 students), and Eastview Elementary (grades 4–5, 257 students), totaling 1,118 children. Because the schools serve different grade bands, the fairest comparisons are grade by grade and subject by subject. The district overall is strong in state context, ranking 101 of 432 Wisconsin districts at the 77th percentile with 4 stars.
Eastview is the academic standout. It ranks 208 of 1039 statewide (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, has held between the 79th and 82nd percentile for three years, and was above the state on all six reported tests and above the district on five of six. Its Grade 4 results are especially strong: Math 73.15%, Social Studies 80.56%, Science 70.37%, and ELA 70.37%. Central-Denison, the largest school, has the best attendance, with chronic absenteeism of 3.0%, and its 2025–26 Grade 3 scores sat right around district levels. Star Center has improved markedly, climbing from the 53rd to the 69th percentile, and was above the state on all eight reported tests, though still below the district on five.
Across all three schools, chronic absenteeism is a district-wide strength: Central-Denison at 3.0%, Star Center and Eastview at 5.2%, the district at 4.9%, and the state at 17.3%. Per-student spending is nearly identical, ranging only $140, from $15,774 at Central-Denison to $15,914 at Star Center and $15,782 at Eastview. Student-teacher ratios run 11.5 at Star Center, 12.1 at Central-Denison, and 14.0 at Eastview. Free or reduced-price lunch rates — 36.58% at Eastview, 39.85% at Central-Denison, and 45.13% at Star Center — line up in the same order as outcomes, but with only three schools and differing grade spans this is a pattern rather than a firm conclusion.
