Summary

Friess Lake Elementary is a PK–4 school in Hubertus, WI, serving 279 students in the Holy Hill Area School District, a district ranked 43rd of 432 districts in Wisconsin.

The school has a strong but variable profile. Its 2025–26 rank is 202nd of 1,039 schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), after an exceptional 2024–25 at 56th of 1,044 (95th percentile, 5 stars); over the longer run it has usually been a 4-star school. Among nearby schools, it sits below Slinger Elementary, Merton Primary, Woodside Elementary, and Amy Belle Elementary, but above Jackson Elementary, Erin Elementary, Rockfield Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary. It is the smallest school in that comparison set (279 students vs. 306 to 571) and has the lowest student–teacher ratio (10.8). It also spends $15,172 per student, more than most nearby schools, and its chronic absenteeism is 5.0%, well below the district’s 7.2% and the state’s 17.3%. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 17.92%, moderate for the area.

Academically, 4th grade is the standout. In 2025–26, 4th grade proficiency was 76.47% in ELA, 88.24% in math, 86.27% in social studies, and 78.43% in science, all well above state averages; 4th grade math was second only to Slinger Elementary among nearby schools and has risen from 70.37% in 2022–23. The main watch point is 3rd grade: ELA was 50.88% (slightly below the state’s 52.08% and near the bottom of the nearby group), and math was 61.4% (above state but below most nearby schools). This likely contributed to the rank drop. Cohort variation matters: the strong 2025–26 4th graders were the 2024–25 3rd graders, while the 2025–26 3rd graders are a new, weaker cohort. Subgroup results are mostly strong—female students rank consistently high, low-socioeconomic students are strong and improving, and special education students rank around the 55th percentile, up from the 33rd percentile in 2018–19 but still a relative gap.
