Summary:
North Cape School District in Franksville, Wisconsin is a one-school district serving pre-kindergarten through 8th grade at North Cape Elementary, a small school of about 194 students. The district earned 4 stars and ranked 98th out of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 77th percentile. Because the district contains only one school, district and school results are essentially the same, and there is no other local school to compare against — the meaningful comparison is with state averages.
Academically, the school performs well above Wisconsin averages almost everywhere. In 2025–2026, 14 of 16 reported test measures were above the state level: the average across grades 3–8 was 64.3% in English language arts (state: 54.0%) and 66.3% in math (state: 53.7%). Middle grades are the standout, with 6th grade ELA at 90% and 6th grade math at 80%. Non-academic indicators are also strong: chronic absenteeism is 6.9% versus 17.3% statewide, the free/reduced lunch rate is low at 6.7%, per-student spending is $15,453, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1.
The main caution is 4th grade, the only area below state averages in the latest year: ELA at 38.46% (state: 53.87%) and math at 46.15% (state: 52.87%). The school's rank also slipped from 5 stars and the 93rd percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and the 60th percentile in 2025–2026. A reported dropout rate of 5.1% versus 1.1% statewide is unusual for a PK–8 school and should be read cautiously.
