Understanding the 9/10 Rating
Germantown School District has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 9/10, placing it in the top-tier tier. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Wisconsin’s Forward Exam grades 3–8 assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Wisconsin is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Germantown School District ranks among the highest-performing public school districts in Wisconsin on state assessments, with reading and math proficiency rates in roughly the top 10–20% statewide. Homes in and around zip code 53022 often carry a measurable premium relative to neighboring areas served by lower-rated districts.
