Summary
White Lake Elementary is a small public elementary school in White Lake, WI, serving grades PK–6 with 105 students as part of the White Lake School District, which ranks 275th of 432 Wisconsin districts. In 2025–2026, White Lake Elementary ranked 461st of 1,039 schools (56th percentile, 3 stars) — above the state median but below its recent peak of 238th of 1,061 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024. Before that, it spent several years in the bottom quartile, at the 18th, 19th, and 21st percentile, so the long-term trend is one of real improvement followed by a slight retreat.
Chronic absenteeism is one of the school's clearest success stories: it fell from 51.4% in 2020–2021 to 15.1% in 2024–2025, below Wisconsin's 17.3% and well below North Elementary's 23.6%. West Elementary is lower at 9.6%, but it serves only PK–1. White Lake also serves a lower-poverty population than most neighbors — 47.62% free/reduced lunch versus 72.08% at North, 63.24% at West, and 97.67% at Menominee Tribal School. Per-student spending was $10,673 in 2024–2025, well under North's $19,697 and West's $14,751, though White Lake's spending was much higher in prior years.
Academically, results are uneven by grade and subject. White Lake beat the state in 4th grade ELA (68.75% vs. 53.87%), 5th grade math (77.78% vs. 51.81%), and 4th grade social studies and science, while trailing in 3rd grade ELA and math (33.33% each) and 5th grade ELA (44.44%). Subgroup effectiveness stands out: special education students ranked at the 98th percentile and low-income students at the 95th percentile. A notable gap exists between male (70th percentile) and female (26th percentile) students. With only 105 students, a few students can swing grade-level results sharply.
