Fox Point J2 School District, WI

Original Research by School Decision on Fox Point J2 School District

Fox Point J2 School District serves students from prekindergarten through eighth grade in Milwaukee County. Because the district ends at eighth grade, there is no high school and therefore no graduation rate to report. Parents whose children continue into high school will need to plan for a receiving district, typically Nicolet Union High School District.

This is a small district by enrollment, with two schools: Bayside Middle School and Stormonth Elementary School. The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic, Asian, Black, and multiracial students. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch was not available, and neither was information on students with disabilities or English learners.

On state assessments, the district performs at a high level. In mathematics, proficiency rates across grades three through eight are strong, and in English language arts they are similarly high. Science and social studies results, tested in grades four and eight, also show a large majority of students meeting or exceeding state standards. The district’s overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Milwaukee County’s districts, and its chronic absenteeism rate is among the lowest in the county. That combination of strong academic results and low absenteeism points to a student population that is engaged and performing well by conventional measures.

The district sits within the village of Fox Point, a North Shore suburb of Milwaukee with an elevated home-value profile relative to the broader county and state. The housing market in the area is competitive: home values have risen, rents are up, and the typical home costs well above the county median. For families considering a move into the district, the financial commitment is substantial. The countywide unemployment rate is moderate, and national mortgage rates have edged up, factors that may affect affordability.

A publicly reported facilities investment is the defining recent change for the district. In a referendum, voters approved a capital project that funded a new Bayside Middle School and major renovations to Stormonth Elementary School, both completed by the fall of 2024. The new buildings include upgraded classroom spaces, mechanical systems, accessibility improvements, and enhanced safety and security. This is a generational facilities upgrade that directly affects the day-to-day environment for students and staff, and early signals suggest the community backed it decisively.

The district offers no high school programming such as Advanced Placement, career and technical education pathways, or dual-credit courses, because it does not serve those grade levels. For families who value a robust elementary and middle school experience with high measured achievement and a recent facilities refresh, and who are prepared for the transition to a separate high school district, Fox Point J2 is a strong fit. For families who prefer a single K-12 district or who are concerned about the high cost of local housing, it may present a more complicated picture. Data on staffing ratios, special education services, and English learner support were not available in the records provided, so a parent may want to follow up directly with the district on those topics.
