Summary:
Mauston School District in Wisconsin is home to three high schools — Mauston High (grades 9–12), Lemonweir Academy (grades 6–12), and iLEAD Charter School (grades 6–12) — with 513 high school students combined. Mauston High enrolls about 71% of them. The district as a whole ranks 357 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 17th percentile with 1 star.
Mauston High is the clear standout and the academic anchor for the area. Its graduation rate is 95.1%, above the district's 93.5% and the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate is 0.0%. On the ACT, it outperformed the state in ELA (50.63 vs. 48.47), Math (53.16 vs. 42.93), and Science (49.37 vs. 43.2). It ranks 180 of 533 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 and was 100 of 431 (77th percentile, 4 stars) the year before — far above the district's overall standing. Its only soft spot is 10th-grade Forward Social Studies at 47.95, slightly below the state's 48.25.
The two smaller schools are more of a mixed picture. iLEAD Charter School posted an impressive 83.33% proficient in 10th-grade Social Studies — far above the district's 50.6 and the state's 48.25 — but its graduation rate is 84.6% and its dropout rate is 1.6%, the weakest of the three. Lemonweir Academy serves the highest-need population: 72.29% free/reduced-price lunch, 23.4% chronic absenteeism, and the highest per-student spending ($16,181) and student-teacher ratio (41.5), yet ACT Math and Science were both 0% proficient, though its 10th-grade Social Studies was 50%. With enrollments of 65 and 83, year-to-year results at both schools can swing widely, so treat them as directional.
