Lake Mills Area School District

The Lake Mills Area School District is home to three high-performing schools: Lake Mills Elementary, Lake Mills High, and Lake Mills Middle. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with the high school and middle school both earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Lake Mills High School stands out with its impressive 97.3% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.4% dropout rate, placing it in the top third of Wisconsin high schools. Lake Mills Middle School also excels, ranking in the top quarter of Wisconsin middle schools and maintaining a 0.0% dropout rate.

Academically, the Lake Mills schools generally outperform the state averages in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam and ACT assessments. However, the district may want to address attendance concerns, as the middle school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% compared to the elementary school's 6.8%. Additionally, the district could examine funding equity, as the high school spends more per student than the elementary and middle schools.
