Summary:
The Pewaukee School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Pewaukee Lake Elementary and Horizon School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Pewaukee area.
Based on the available data, Horizon School appears to be the standout elementary school in the district. Horizon School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher test scores than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Horizon School's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (77.45%) and Mathematics (80.88%) were over 25 percentage points higher than the state averages. Additionally, Horizon School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
While both schools have strong academic performance, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of around 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year suggest an area for potential improvement in student engagement and attendance. The Pewaukee School District as a whole is ranked 28th out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that it is a high-performing district overall.
