Summary:
The Three Lakes School District in Wisconsin is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Three Lakes Elementary and Sugar Camp Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top 35% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past three years, with Three Lakes Elementary reaching as high as 199th out of 1,044 schools and Sugar Camp Elementary reaching 142nd out of 1,067 schools.
Academically, both schools outperform the Three Lakes School District and the state of Wisconsin in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. Three Lakes Elementary stands out with exceptionally high proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th grade Mathematics, while Sugar Camp Elementary impresses with 91.67% of 6th graders and 100% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in Mathematics. However, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% compared to the state average.
In terms of spending, both schools invest significantly more per student than the state average, with Sugar Camp Elementary spending $18,851 per student and Three Lakes Elementary spending $16,224 per student. This higher spending does not appear to directly correlate with higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student engagement, may play a more significant role in student outcomes.
