Summary:
The Wonewoc-Union Center School District in Wisconsin serves 357 students across three schools: Wonewoc-Center Elementary (PK–5, 175 students), Wonewoc-Center Junior High (6–8, 68 students), and Wonewoc-Center High (9–12, 114 students). The district is rated 310th of 432 in the state — the 28th percentile with 1 star — but that single rating hides very different stories inside each building. Because grade-level cohorts are small, percentages can swing sharply from year to year.
The junior high is the district's bright spot. In 2025–26 it ranked 246th of 643 schools — the 62nd percentile with 3 stars — the only 3-star school in the district, and it has climbed steadily from the 36th percentile in 2023–24 and the 45th in 2024–25. Its 8th grade Social Studies proficiency is 80.95% against a state figure of 64.63%, and ELA is strong across all three grades. Math is its weak point. It also has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (11.9%), lowest student-teacher ratio (8.5), and lowest per-student spending ($14,163). The elementary school is more mixed: 4th grade Social Studies (82.61%) and Science (56.52%) beat state averages, but 5th grade math is 21.43% versus the state's 51.81%, and 3rd grade math is 35% versus 54.75%.
The high school graduates 100% of students with a 0.0% dropout rate, yet its 2025–26 proficiency lags badly (Math ACT 16.67% vs. state 42.93%) and its chronic absenteeism is the district's highest at 21.3%. It also spends the most per student ($20,136) while holding the weakest ranking. Notably, attendance tracks closely with results, and math is a shared weakness at every level.
