Summary

Lemonweir Academy is a small public school in the Mauston School District at 510 Grayside Ave in Mauston, Wisconsin, serving 83 students in grades 6–12. In 2025–2026 it ranks 479th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (10th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 357th of 432. The contrast within the district is notable: Mauston High, about 0.15 miles away, ranks in the 66th percentile (3 stars), and iLEAD Charter School, similar in size and grade span, ranks in the 38th percentile (2 stars).

Lemonweir also stands out on student need and staffing. Its 72.29% free/reduced lunch rate is the highest among nearby schools — far above Mauston High (40.27%) and iLEAD Charter School (52.31%) — and has climbed for two straight years. Its reported student–teacher ratio of 41.5 is the highest nearby, up from 26 and 16.5 previously, versus 12.5 at Mauston High and mostly 9.7 to 14.5 at other nearby schools. Per-student spending of $16,181 is similar to Mauston High but below several less economically disadvantaged districts, such as Wonewoc-Union Center School District. Chronic absenteeism is 23.4%, above the district's 16.6% and the state's 17.3% and highest among nearby schools, though sharply improved from 53.1% in 2023–2024. The 92.5% graduation rate is near the state's 92.0% but below the district's 93.5%.

Achievement is low overall, especially on the ACT. In 2025–2026, 6th grade ELA proficiency was 14.29% versus the district's 35.63% and the state's 54.95%, and 6th grade math was 28.57% versus 44.83% and 53.6%. ACT results showed ELA at 11.11%, with math and science at 0%. Tenth grade social studies was 50%, slightly above the state's 48.25%. With only 83 students, each grade is tiny, so percentages can swing widely — 8th grade social studies went from 10% to 71.43% to 14.29% over three years — and isolated bright spots have appeared, such as 8th grade social studies and science in 2023–2024. Statewide subgroup rankings place both female (436th of 461) and male students (459th of 462) near the bottom.
