Lake Country School

Summary:

Lake Country School is a highly-ranked public elementary and middle school located in Hartland, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 485 students. This school is part of the Lake Country School District, which is ranked 5th out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Country School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, with a statewide ranking between 4th and 14th over the past several years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is exceptional, with the majority of grades scoring over 80% proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school excels across different student subgroups, ranking 4th-7th in the state for female students, 5th-36th for male students, and 8th-10th for white students, demonstrating strong academic achievement regardless of demographic factors. While the school's ranking for special education students has fluctuated, it has maintained a 5-star rating for low socioeconomic status students, ranking 2nd-42nd in the state, indicating the school's ability to support students from diverse backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools like Greenland Elementary, Merton Primary, and Swallow Elementary, which also rank highly in the state, Lake Country School consistently outperforms them on academic measures. This may be due to the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $11,260 to $13,709 over the past few years, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 13.5 over the same period. Additionally, Lake Country School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (7.63% to 9.84%) compared to some of the nearby schools, which may indicate a more affluent student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
