The District serves 1,471 students from the City of Lake Mills and the surrounding area in three schools: Lake Mills Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. Lake Mills Area School District is the highest-achieving school district in Jefferson County and has strong academic curricular programs at all levels, as well as excellent music, athletic, drama, and extracurricular programs. We are proud to educate our students in some of the top facilities in the country for environmental construction and design. Our elementary school is LEED Platinum certified and was built as a house concept, which allows our staff to foster a sense of community and togetherness throughout the school day.

The Lake Mills community is supportive and involved with the schools. Lake Mills has a history of successful referendums, award-winning school facilities, and stable, long-serving school boards and District Administrators. Lake Mills is ideally located in south-central Wisconsin near Interstate Hwy 94, fifty miles west of Milwaukee and twenty-five miles east of Madison, Wisconsin.

The City has a beautiful central square and park, and is built on the shores of "legendary" Rock Lake. Lake Mills retains the sense of a small town, a closely knit community with access to both rural and urban recreational opportunities.
