Summary:
Elementary schools in the North Lake School District come down to a single building: North Lake Elementary, which enrolls 365 students in grades PK–8 and serves as both the district's elementary and middle school. The district ranks 10th of 432 in Wisconsin — the 98th percentile — with a 5-star rating. Because it contains only this one school, district-level and school-level figures are the same, so every result below describes both.
Academically, the school performs far above state averages. In 2025–2026 it averaged 87.4% proficient 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%. Every reported grade-and-subject result in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025 was above the state average. The highest marks included 94.23% in 7th grade ELA and 94.12% in 5th grade ELA; the lowest, 4th grade math at 64.86%, still beat the state's 52.87%. The narrowest margin anywhere was 2024–2025 5th grade math, at 52.63% versus 52.58%. Its state school rank improved to 64th of 1,039 (94th percentile, 5 stars) from 95th of 1,044 the year before, and it has held 5 stars for three years.
Other indicators are equally strong. Chronic absenteeism was 6.9% against a state rate of 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. Only 1.1% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — roughly 4 students out of 365 — which is useful context for the very high proficiency scores. Per-student spending was $12,571 and the student-teacher ratio was 14.6. One caveat for families: with 365 students spread across PK–8, individual grade-level percentages rest on small cohorts, so year-to-year swings at a single grade may reflect who is in that class rather than a change in the school itself.
