Summary
Magee Elementary is a PK–5 school in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, serving 255 students as part of the Kettle Moraine School District, which ranks 68th of 432 districts statewide. In 2025–26, Magee ranked 132nd of 1,039 elementary schools in Wisconsin (87th percentile, 4 stars) — a strong result, though below its 2022–23 through 2024–25 stretch of 5 stars in the 91st–93rd percentile and its historic high of 5th of 1,071 in 2016–17. About 15.69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending is $17,269.
In 2025–26, Magee's proficiency scores were above the Wisconsin average in every reported subject and grade, and above district averages in ELA grades 3 and 5, math grade 3, social studies, and science, while slightly below district averages in math grades 4 and 5. Comparisons with nearby schools cut both ways. Dousman Elementary, in the same district with similar enrollment, poverty, spending, and class size, ranks 611th (41st percentile, 2 stars) with much lower proficiency — 35.29% in 4th-grade ELA versus Magee's 65.63%. But Cushing Elementary (73rd, 5 stars) and Wales Elementary (68th, 5 stars) rank higher, and Mukwonago's Section Elementary, Rolling Hills Elementary, and Prairie View Elementary generally outperform Magee in math and absenteeism despite spending less per student.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.2%, better than the district's 8.5% and far below the state's 17.3%, though Cushing (3.9%) and Section (0.9%) are lower. Magee's student-teacher ratio is 12.6 — smaller classes than most neighbors. Subgroup results are a clear strength: male students and special education students rank well above average, and low-socioeconomic-status students ranked 4th of 870 schools in 2024–25. Grade-level results vary, with grade 3 strongest and math in grades 4 and 5 comparatively weaker.
