Summary

Sugar Maple Nature School is a small public K–7 school in Saukville, Wisconsin, a community in Ozaukee County, serving about 100 students as part of the Northern Ozaukee School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 254th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools—the 76th percentile with 4 stars—higher than its district’s 63rd percentile and 3-star rating. The school improved from 3 stars to 4 stars, peaked around the 89th percentile in 2022–2023, and has softened since but remains a 4-star school above its district and outperforming same-district Ozaukee Elementary in recent years.

Academically, science and social studies stand out: 4th-grade proficiency was 91.67% in both, the highest science score among nearby schools and second only to Farmington Elementary’s 95.12% in social studies. Math was above district and state in every tested grade. English language arts was strong in 4th (91.67%), 5th (83.33%), 6th (66.67%), and 7th (100%), but 3rd-grade ELA was the clear outlier at 42.11%, below district, state, and nearly every nearby school except Random Lake Elementary (37.5%). Because the school is very small, one cohort can swing grade-level results, so this is worth watching rather than treating as permanent.

Other factors: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.0, the highest in the nearby comparison group—above Kennedy Elementary (16.3), Thorson Elementary (15.9), Farmington Elementary (14.7), and Woodview Elementary (14.6)—after jumping from 14.0. Chronic absenteeism rose to 8.2%, still below the district’s 10.8% and the state’s 17.3%, though higher than several nearby schools. Per-student spending was $12,375, moderate-to-low locally. Free/reduced lunch was 3.09% in 2022–2023, suggesting a relatively advantaged population then, but 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 data are unknown. Limited older subgroup data show a male-female gap in 2021–2022 and a strong low-socioeconomic-status result that year; monitoring is warranted.
