Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District

The Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students in the Oak Creek and Franklin communities. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with some standout institutions and areas for improvement.

Among the standout schools are Carollton Elementary and Meadowview Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam compared to the district and state averages. The district's two middle schools, Oak Creek East Middle and Oak Creek West Middle, are also standouts, ranking among the top 25% of Wisconsin middle schools and demonstrating strong academic performance, low dropout rates, and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Oak Creek High maintains a high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate.

However, the data also reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the district's elementary schools, with some struggling to match the district and state averages. The relationship between higher per-student spending, lower student-teacher ratios, and better academic performance is also evident, particularly at the elementary school level. Overall, the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District offers a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with the middle schools and high school standing out as the district's strengths and the variation in elementary school performance as an area for potential improvement.
