Indian Mound Middle School and Waubesa Intermediate School are also high-performing, ranking 82nd and 182nd in the state, respectively, and earning 4-star ratings.

However, the district's performance is mixed, with some schools, such as the virtual schools, struggling and consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages. The district also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and significant disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic status, as well as in resource allocation across the schools. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the McFarland School District to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
