Summary:
North Fond du Lac School District in Wisconsin serves roughly 1,464 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district overall ranks 396 of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it at the 8th percentile with 0 stars, yet individual schools contain real bright spots.
Bessie Allen Middle stands out most on non-test measures: 2.4% chronic absenteeism (district 10.7%, state 17.3%) and a 0.0% dropout rate, plus the district's strongest 2025–2026 result, 8th grade Social Studies at 62.39% against the state's 64.63%, with sharp year-over-year gains in Social Studies and Science. Horace Mann High graduates 95.2% of students, above the state's 92.0%, but its 10th grade ACT results lag well behind state: ELA 23.23% vs 48.47%, Math 17.17% vs 42.93%, and Science 24.24% vs 43.2%. Friendship Learning Elementary, the largest school with 612 students, is strongest in early math — 3rd grade Math at 56.52% vs the state's 54.75% — while its ELA, science, and social studies results run below state. Treffert Way for the Exceptional Mind, a 60-student K–8 school, has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (65%) and per-student spending ($20,551); its percentages swing widely with small grade cohorts, though 6th grade Math reached 60% vs the state's 53.6%.
All four schools improved their percentile rank from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, though most remain below their 2023–2024 levels. Attendance is a relative district strength, per-student spending does not track clearly with proficiency, and student-teacher ratios are fairly similar across schools, from 14.5 to 15.6.
