Summary:
The Osseo-Fairchild School District serves roughly 747 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — with no alternative school, and while the district's overall rating sits at 305th of 432 in Wisconsin (29th percentile, 1 star), that single rating hides three schools on very different paths.
Osseo-Fairchild Elementary is the clear bright spot: 367 students, the district's only 3-star school, ranked 496th of 1,039 (52nd percentile) in 2025–26 after climbing from the 34th percentile two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism is only 5.4% versus 17.3% statewide, and math, science, and social studies results are above state — 3rd-grade math at 70.59% vs. 54.75% — though 3rd- and 5th-grade ELA lag at 41.18% and 44.74%. Osseo-Fairchild High is a two-speed school: graduation is 98.2% vs. 92.0% state and dropout is 0.4%, and it improved from the 14th to the 41st percentile, but chronic absenteeism is 23.9% — the district's highest and above the state's 17.3% — while ACT-based 10th-grade ELA (38.78% vs. 48.47%), math (32.65% vs. 42.93%), and science (38.78% vs. 43.20%) all trail state.
Osseo-Fairchild Middle has the opposite profile: attendance is strong (6.4% chronic absenteeism, 0.0% dropout), but it slipped from the 51st to the 35th percentile, and 8th grade trails state badly in ELA (37.74% vs. 54.38%), science (39.62% vs. 51.86%), and social studies (49.06% vs. 64.63%). Spending is uneven — the high school spends $21,214 per student versus $16,587 at the middle school. The clearest action items: high school attendance, middle school 8th-grade achievement, and elementary literacy in grades 3 and 5.
