Summary:
Twin Lakes #4 School District in Wisconsin contains just one school—Lakewood Elementary, a PK–8 elementary school with 263 students—so the district and school figures are essentially the same.
Lakewood Elementary has several clear strengths. Chronic absenteeism is only 4.4%, compared with 17.3% statewide—roughly one-fourth the state rate. Classes are small, with a student/teacher ratio of 9.5, and per-student spending is high at $17,779. The school's statewide rank improved from the 36th percentile to the 43rd percentile over two years, and overall Forward Exam proficiency rose from 49.6% to 52.2% in 2025–2026, narrowing the gap to the state from -4.6 to -2.9 points. Several grade-level results beat state averages, including 8th grade Social Studies (72.41%), 4th grade Math (62.50%), 5th grade ELA and Math (58.82% each), and 8th grade ELA (58.62%).
Areas to watch include ELA, which averaged 47.5% versus 54.0% statewide in 2025–2026, with grades 4 and 7 far below state at 31.25% and 36.84%. Math slipped from above state in 2024–2025 (58.4% vs. 53.9%) to slightly below in 2025–2026 (52.8% vs. 53.7%), with middle-school math below state in grades 6–8. The dropout rate is 1.8% versus 1.1% statewide, though this metric is less central in a PK–8 setting. The school still holds a 2-star rating and remains below the 50th percentile in statewide rank. Because cohorts are small, year-to-year swings can be large and should be read cautiously.
