SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,039 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 31% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

The School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies is a small PK–6 elementary school serving 128 students in Fox Lake, Wisconsin, part of the Waupun School District, and it is the smallest school among its nearby comparison group. About 51.56% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, so it serves a relatively high-poverty population. Per-student spending is high at $17,503, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.6. For 2025–2026 the school ranks 719th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), a steep drop from 2017–2018, when it ranked in the 77th percentile with 4 stars.

Test results are mixed. Most 2025–2026 Forward Exam scores fell below district and state averages and below nearby schools, including 3rd-grade ELA (27.27%) and 3rd-grade math (36.36%), the lowest among the nearby tested schools. The clear exception is 6th-grade math, where 90.91% of students were proficient — far above Rock River Intermediate's 54.17% and above district and state averages. Because the school is so small, a grade may contain only a handful of students, so percentages can swing widely; the school also posted strong 5th- and 6th-grade math results in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism is the most pressing concern: it rose to 17.4% in 2024–2025, the highest among the nearby schools, up from 11.4% and now slightly above both district and state averages.

Nearby schools show stronger results in similar circumstances. Prairie View Elementary ranks in the 91st percentile, Washington Elementary 84th, and Randolph Elementary and Cambria Friesland Elementary 83rd. Washington Elementary has a similar free/reduced-lunch rate but much higher proficiency, suggesting resources alone are not the deciding factor. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are also low for 2025–2026: 19th percentile for Special Education students and 19th percentile for low-income students, down from 34th percentile a year earlier. Small enrollment makes single-year subgroup figures volatile, but the pattern is worth watching. The brightest signs are the standout 6th-grade math results and a history of lower absenteeism; the biggest concerns are rising absenteeism and broad underperformance in reading, social studies, and most math grades.
