Summary:
Zip code 54941 has two public schools — Green Lake Elementary (PK–6, 137 students) and Green Lake High (7–12, 139 students) — both located at 612 Mill St in Green Lake, WI, and both part of the Green Lake School District. Together they serve about 276 students across PK–12, with no standalone middle school or alternative school in the data. The district itself ranks 173 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 60th percentile with 3 stars.
Green Lake Elementary is the clear standout. It ranks 112 of 1,039 in 2025–26, placing it in the 89th percentile with 4 stars, and it has earned 4 stars in each of the last three years (87th percentile in 2023–24, 73rd in 2024–25, 89th in 2025–26). Math proficiency is exceptionally strong: in 2025–26, all tested grades were above 73%, including 6th grade math at 90% versus a state value of 53.6%. ELA proficiency ranged from 59.09% to 80% across grades 3–6, all above state values. Chronic absenteeism is 10.2%, below the district's 12.1% and the state's 17.3%, and free/reduced lunch is 28.47%.
Green Lake High presents a mixed picture. It ranks 343 of 533 in 2025–26 — 36th percentile, 2 stars — after declining from 62nd percentile in 2023–24 to 44th in 2024–25. Strengths include a 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–25, both better than the state, plus strong Forward ELA in grades 7 and 8 (72.73% and 73.33%). Math is the clear weakness: 7th grade math was 36.36% and 8th grade 33.33%, both well below state, and ACT Math was 25% versus the state's 42.93%. Notably, both schools reported identical spending of $21,112 per student, and the high school had a lower student/teacher ratio (8.9) than the elementary school (11.4) — making its weaker math outcomes a notable area for further investigation.
