Summary

Fond du Lac STEM Academy is a small public school in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, serving 162 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Fond du Lac School District. It stands out from its district context: the school ranks 87th of 533 Wisconsin schools for 2025–2026, placing it at the 84th percentile with 4 stars, while the district as a whole is at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. Among nearby regular high schools it sits in the upper tier, comparable to Laconia High and Oakfield High, though slightly behind Lomira High.

The school serves a higher-poverty population than nearby regular schools — its free/reduced lunch rate was 51.85% in 2024–25, the highest among them — yet its low-socio-economic-status subgroup ranks at the 97th percentile with 5 stars. It is also small and comparatively well staffed, with a student-teacher ratio of 12 in 2024–25 versus 16.5 at Fond du Lac High, and per-student spending of $16,815 in 2024–25. Compared with Fond du Lac High, it has a higher statewide rank, stronger ACT English Language Arts and science results, and lower chronic absenteeism.

On 2025–26 assessments, 10th-grade ACT proficiency was 68.75% in English Language Arts, 56.25% in science, and 50.00% in math — all above district and state. Eighth-grade ELA reached 79.49%, and 8th-grade science 66.67%. Areas to watch include chronic absenteeism, which rose to 15.4% in 2024–25 after several years below 10%, and dropout, which rose to 2.5% after three years at 0.0%. Because the school is small, year-to-year swings should be interpreted cautiously.
