Summary:
North Lake School District in Hartland, Wisconsin is a single-school district: it contains just one campus, North Lake Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–8 with 365 students. Because there is only one school in the North Lake School District, district-level and school-level numbers are identical wherever both are reported.
Academically, North Lake Elementary ranks among the strongest schools in Wisconsin. The district ranks 10th of 432 statewide — the 98th percentile with 5 stars — and the school itself ranked 64th of 1,039 schools in 2025–2026, the 94th percentile with 5 stars. That is the best of the three reported years, improving from 95th of 1,044 in 2024–2025 and 92nd of 1,061 in 2023–2024; it earned 5 stars in each of those years. In 2025–2026, average proficiency was 87.4% in ELA versus 54.0% statewide, 77.7% in Math versus 53.7%, 85.1% in Social Studies versus 65.1%, and 77.0% in Science versus 52.7%. ELA is the standout subject, with grades 5 and 7 at 94.12% and 94.23%. Every grade and subject tested came in above the state average, and even the lowest result — 4th grade math at 64.86% — beat the state by nearly 12 points. ELA also improved the most year over year, up 8.3 points.
Non-academic indicators are equally favorable: chronic absenteeism is 6.9% compared with 17.3% statewide, the dropout rate is 0.0% versus 1.1%, and free/reduced lunch is just 1.1%. Per-student spending is $12,571 with a student-teacher ratio of 14.6. The main caveat for parents is that small grade cohorts can make year-to-year percentage changes swing widely, so single-year jumps — like 5th grade's gains in ELA and math — should be read with some caution.
