Summary:
Wausaukee School District is a small Wisconsin district serving about 385 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–5, 168 students), one middle (6–8, 94 students), and one high school (9–12, 123 students) — with no alternative school available. Statewide, the district ranks 409 of 432, placing it in the 5th percentile with 0 stars, and each of its three schools earned 1 star.
Among the three, Wausaukee High has the strongest overall standing: 397 of 533, or the 26th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 17th percentile in 2023–24. Its graduation rate is 93.0% (state 92.0%), its dropout rate is 0.0% (state 1.1%), and 10th grade ACT ELA is just 1.10 points below state at 47.37%. However, its 10th grade Social Studies fell from 54.55% (above state) to 25.00% (state 48.25%). Wausaukee Middle posts the district's clearest academic bright spots: 8th grade Social Studies at 73.68% vs. state 64.63%, and 8th grade Science at 57.89% vs. state 51.86%, both improved year over year. Still, its overall proficiency average is 41.02% vs. state 55.51%, and 8th grade math dropped from 39.39% to 21.05%. Wausaukee Elementary has the most urgent academic picture — average proficiency of 22.30% vs. state 54.75%, two exact 0% math results, and a falling rank percentile (17 to 11 to 10) — but the best attendance, with chronic absenteeism of 12.9% against district 16.8% and state 17.3%.
Chronic absenteeism splits the district: elementary 12.9%, middle 18.7%, high 19.8%. Free/reduced lunch is highest at the elementary school (53.57%) and lowest at the middle school (45.74%). The high school spends the most per student ($19,448) and the elementary school the least ($17,180), while the middle school has the smallest classes (student-teacher ratio 9.6). In short, test scores lag statewide across all three schools, with the high school leading on graduation and rank, the middle school showing subject-level strengths in 8th grade science and social studies, and the elementary school strongest on attendance but weakest on achievement.
