The district overall ranks 255 of 432 in Wisconsin, placing it in the 41st percentile with 2 stars, but that single rating hides real differences between its schools — the middle and high schools each earn 3 stars, while both elementaries earn 2.

The standouts are Athens High and Athens Middle. Athens High ranks 183 of 533 (66th percentile, 3 stars) and has climbed from the 54th to the 61st to the 66th percentile over three years. Its graduation rate is 96.1% against the state's 92.0%, with a 0.0% dropout rate, and its ACT English Language Arts and Science results are above state averages, though ACT Math lags. Athens Middle ranks 307 of 643 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) and posts exceptional 8th grade social studies results — 76.92% and 83.87% in the last two years, well above state. The elementaries sit lower: Athens Elementary at the 40th percentile and Maple Grove Charter School at the 42nd.

Across the ZIP, social studies is the clear academic strength, with Athens Elementary's 4th grade (82.35%) and Maple Grove's 4th grade (75%) also above state. Math is the shared challenge; most results fall below state, the weakest being Maple Grove's 4th grade math at 20.83% versus 52.87% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is low at Maple Grove (1.7%), Athens Elementary (3.5%), and Athens Middle (5.6%) compared with the state's 17.3%, but Athens High is the local outlier at 13.8%. Per-student spending ranges widely, from $8,789 at Maple Grove to $25,732 at Athens High. Both elementaries fell sharply in rank since 2023–24, worth watching given their small enrollments.
