Summary

Maple Grove Charter School is a small K–5 charter school with 94 students in the Athens School District, located on County Road L in rural Athens, WI. In 2025–2026, it ranks 607th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), slightly above its same-district peer Athens Elementary (628th of 1,039, 40th percentile, 2 stars). Its five-year rank history is volatile, moving between the 39th and 69th percentiles, partly because a school this small can swing with one grade-level cohort.

Academically, Maple Grove has a split profile. It is strong in English language arts, social studies, and science, often at or above state averages. In 2025–2026, ELA averaged about 57.5% across grades 3–5 versus roughly 53.2% statewide, and 4th-grade social studies reached 75.00% and science 54.17%. Math is the clear weakness: the grades 3–5 average was about 34.7% versus roughly 53.1% statewide, with 4th-grade math at 20.83% and 5th-grade math at 33.33%. Athens Elementary outperformed Maple Grove in all three tested math grades, but Maple Grove was stronger in 4th- and 5th-grade ELA, social studies, and science. Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was just 1.7% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 6.0% and the state’s 17.3%, and lower than nearby Edgar Elementary and Marathon Elementary.

Subgroup results show female students at the 60th percentile and low-SES students at the 54th percentile, both above the school’s overall 42nd percentile, while male students rank at the 31st percentile. In 2023–2024, all subgroups were strong, especially low-SES students at the 95th percentile with 5 stars. Per-student spending was $8,789 in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby traditional public schools, though charter accounting and small enrollment make spending comparisons tricky. Overall, Maple Grove is a small rural charter with exceptional attendance and competitive ELA, social studies, and science results, but math—especially in grades 4 and 5—is the main challenge likely limiting its statewide rank.
