Summary

Johnson Creek Public School is a PK–12 school in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin, serving 634 students as the primary reporting school for the Johnson Creek School District. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 25.24%, its student-teacher ratio is 11 to 1, and per-student spending was $16,892 in 2024–25. Families will find a lot to like: chronic absenteeism was 9.1% in 2024–25, roughly half the statewide 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.7% versus 1.1% statewide. The graduation rate was 91.4%, slightly below the state's 92.0% and down from 100% the year before, though the school had tracked above the state for several years prior.

Academically, English language arts and ACT results are clear strengths. Averaged across grades 3–8, about 60% of students were proficient in ELA versus about 54% statewide, and 8th graders reached 75.76% in both ELA and social studies. Tenth-grade ACT results beat the state in ELA (51.16% vs 48.47%), math (51.16% vs 42.93%), and science (53.49% vs 43.2%). Math is the weak spot: grades 3–8 average about 50.8% proficient against about 53.7% statewide, with the largest gaps in 5th grade math (35.9%) and 8th grade math (39.39%). The mix of very high ELA and social studies with low math in 8th grade points to a specific math issue rather than broad academic weakness.

Compared with nearby alternatives, JEDI Virtual K-12 graduates a similar share of students but reports a student-teacher ratio of 38.7 and spending of $7,395 per student. eCampus Academy Charter School shows high chronic absenteeism (30.7%) and lower ACT results, while Lake Country Classical Academy Inc posts higher test proficiency and lower absenteeism but a lower graduation rate (81.2%) and higher dropout rate (2.7%). These differences reflect distinct school models and student populations rather than a simple ranking. Keep in mind that these comparison schools are alternative, virtual, or charter settings with small grade-level cohorts, so some of their results are volatile.
