Mauston School District

The Mauston School District in Wisconsin serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district has shown a mix of performance, with some standout schools like Mauston High School and Lyndon Station Elementary making significant improvements in their statewide rankings in recent years.

Mauston High School stands out with a 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a 1.3% dropout rate, both of which are noteworthy. Meanwhile, Lyndon Station Elementary has seen a remarkable jump in its statewide ranking, moving from 919th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 284th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. The school's students have also performed well on standardized tests, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies.

The district's two charter schools, Mauston Montessori Charter School and iLEAD Charter School, have shown mixed results, with Mauston Montessori performing better in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and significant socioeconomic disparities, as evidenced by the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools.
