Summary
Reek Elementary is a small, rural PK–8 school on South Lakeshore Drive in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, serving 176 students as the only school in the Linn J6 School District. The district ranks 40th of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 91st percentile, 5 stars. For 2025-26, the school ranks 133rd of 1,039 elementary schools statewide (87th percentile, 4 stars), a sharp rebound after two weaker years (71st percentile in 2023-24, 69th in 2024-25). From 2015-16 through 2021-22, Reek never fell below the 93rd percentile, peaking at 21st of 1,050 in 2020-21.
Reek outperforms every nearby school on statewide ranking and beats the Wisconsin average in every tested subject and grade — ELA 76.2% vs 54.0%, math 70.6% vs 53.7%, social studies 85%, and science 75%. Standouts include 100% in 3rd grade ELA, 91.67% in 3rd grade math, and 85% in social studies in both tested grades. Chronic absenteeism is 3.0%, far below the state's 17.3% and much lower than closer PK–8 peers like Woods Elementary (12.7%), Walworth Elementary (11.8%), and Fontana Elementary (6.6%). The school spends $14,547 per student — second-lowest in the comparison group — with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio.
Two things are worth watching. First, the school's low-income subgroup ranks at the 57th percentile versus 87th overall — the widest internal gap reported, though that group is small (~29 students) and the figure is noisy. Second, with 176 students spread across ten grade levels, a single student's result can shift a grade-level percentage by 5 points or more, so year-to-year swings deserve caution; grade 8 math softening this year (88.24 to 65) is the largest single drop. Woods Elementary, 2.9 miles away with the same PK–8 structure, is the most useful local benchmark: Reek leads in ELA, while Woods leads in math.
