Summary
Flex Academy is a small K–8 public school in Little Chute, WI, serving 87 students in the Little Chute Area School District, a Fox Valley community near Appleton and Kaukauna. The district ranks 83rd of 432 Wisconsin districts (81st percentile, 4 stars), and the school has recently performed at or above that level. In 2025–2026 it ranked 187th of 1,039 schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars); in 2024–2025 it ranked 144th of 1,044 (86th percentile, 4 stars). Dropout has been 0.0% in each reported year from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 9.1% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 12.1% and state’s 17.3%.
Compared with nearby schools, Flex Academy is unusually small and is the only K–8 option in this group; most neighbors end at grade 4 or earlier, so its middle-grade results have no direct local comparison. In 2025–2026, it outranked same-district Little Chute Elementary (489th of 1,039, 53rd percentile, 3 stars) and also ranked above Quinney Elementary (314th), Haen Elementary (488th), and Westside Elementary (267th), though it trailed New Directions Learning Community (127th), Park Community Charter School (125th), and Janssen Elementary (99th). Math is a consistent strength: every tested math grade in 2025–2026 was above district and state, with 5th, 6th, and 7th grades at 83.33%, 85.71%, and 85.71%. ELA was above district and state in four of five tested grades, but 4th-grade ELA was 50%, below district, state, and every nearby school’s 4th-grade ELA result. Middle grades stand out, with 2025–2026 grades 5–7 ELA at 91.67%, 85.71%, and 71.43%.
Attendance is a strength: Flex Academy’s 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism of 9.1% was below district and state and similar to Little Chute Elementary (9.7%) and Park Community Charter School (9.6%), though New Directions Learning Community (3.5%) and Westside Elementary (5.6%) were lower. It spends less per student than every nearby school with reported spending—$10,186—and its student–teacher ratio of 15.8 is higher than most neighbors; its free/reduced lunch rate was 16.09%. Because the school is small, families should ask how it supports 4th-grade ELA and maintains middle-school rigor. Overall, it looks high-performing for a small K–8 option.
