The Maple School District in Wisconsin serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with some standout results at the elementary and middle school levels.

Iron River Elementary is a small school with impressive test scores, particularly in mathematics, where 87.5% of 3rd graders and 83.33% of 5th graders were proficient or better in 2024-2025. In contrast, Northwestern Middle has consistently ranked in the top half of Wisconsin middle schools, with strong math performance across all grade levels. Meanwhile, Northwestern High has seen a decline in its state ranking, dropping from 123 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024 to 176 out of 431 in 2024-2025.

Across the Maple School District, the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is a significant concern, as it can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the district serves a diverse population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 31.04% to 39.72%, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students.
