Summary:

The district is strong: Kaukauna Area School District ranks 90th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars. Two schools stand out academically. New Directions Learning Community ranks 11th of 1,061 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024, 21st of 1,044 (98th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, and 127th of 1,039 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Its test-proficiency simple average was 83.6 in 2024–2025 and 73.7 in 2025–2026, above district and state averages. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (3.5%), lowest free/reduced lunch (17.41%), lowest per-student spending ($10,984), and highest student-teacher ratio (16). Park Community Charter School is also strong, ranking 201st, 88th, and 125th over the same years, with test averages of 77.4 and 73.8 and chronic absenteeism of 9.6%.

Quinney Elementary is solid but trending down: it ranked 217th, 208th, and 314th, with test averages of 69.5 and 65.5 and chronic absenteeism of 6.6%. Haen Elementary is the main equity concern: it ranked 362nd, 433rd, and 488th, with the lowest test averages (60.2 and 58.0), highest chronic absenteeism (11.7%), highest free/reduced lunch (51.39%), highest per-student spending ($15,878), and lowest student-teacher ratio (11.7). Dr H B Tanner Elementary is the largest school (466 students, PK–1) and has no grade 3/4 Forward Exam data; its chronic absenteeism is 7.9%. Across the area, all five schools are below the state chronic absenteeism rate (17.3%), and most are below the district rate (10.8%). The district’s simple test average remains above the state: 70.1 vs 54.6 in 2024–2025 and 65.8 vs 55.4 in 2025–2026. Families have strong options, though 2025–2026 was softer for several schools and Haen should be watched closely.
