The district ranks 216 of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Because each school serves a small cohort (125, 73, and 125 students), a handful of students can shift proficiency rates by many points.

It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.4) and lowest per-pupil spending ($15,507) of the three.
