Summary:
Oostburg School District is a small Wisconsin district serving roughly 1,011 students across three schools — Oostburg Elementary (PK–5), Oostburg Middle (6–8), and Oostburg High (9–12) — and Oostburg School District ranks 20th of 432 districts statewide, placing it in the 95th percentile with 5 stars. Every listed 2025–2026 proficiency average at every school sits above its state comparison, and district chronic absenteeism of 3.4% is far below the state's 17.3%.
Oostburg Middle is the district's clearest standout, ranking 13th of 643 middle schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars) after finishing 9th of 628 (99th percentile, 5 stars) the year before. Its 2025–2026 averages were 85.5% in ELA, 84.6% in math, 85.7% in social studies and 78.6% in science, all well above state figures, and it pairs that with the best student-teacher ratio in the district (13.6), 2.4% chronic absenteeism and a 0.0% dropout rate. Oostburg High is still elite, ranking 19th of 533 (96th percentile, 5 stars), though it has slipped from 7th of 431 (98th percentile) in 2023–2024. Its 10th-grade ACT proficiency fell from 86.84% to 72.41% in ELA, 82.89% to 68.97% in math and 85.53% to 73.56% in science — still far above state averages. Graduation is 95.1% versus the state's 92.0%, with a 0.0% dropout rate; its 7.5% chronic absenteeism is the district's highest but less than half the state rate.
Oostburg Elementary is strong but has cooled relative to its own past, moving from 64th of 1,061 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024 to 130th of 1,039 (87th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Proficiency is 75.7% in ELA, 65.7% in math, 84.6% in social studies and 83.1% in science, all above state. Fifth-grade math, at 58.97%, is the district's lowest figure, though still above the state's 51.81%. Its 0.7% chronic absenteeism is exceptional. It has the largest enrollment (479), the highest student-teacher ratio (15.8) and the lowest per-student spending ($11,911), compared with $12,871 at the middle school and $15,321 at the high school.
