Summary

Sugar Maple Nature School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Saukville, Wisconsin, with a student population of 70. The school is part of the Northern Ozaukee School District, which is ranked 113 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sugar Maple Nature School has consistently performed well on the Forward Exam, with several grade levels scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, 6th-grade students scored 90% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 73.97% for the district and 53.66% for the state. However, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.8% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school has a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 3% to 3.09% over the past few years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools and the state average.

When compared to the nearby schools in the Port Washington-Saukville School District and the West Bend School District, Sugar Maple Nature School stands out as a high-performing school, often outpacing its peers in academic achievement. However, the school's small size and unique focus on nature-based education may limit its ability to directly compare to larger, more traditional public schools in the area.
