Baraboo School District is a school district headquartered in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
The district serves Baraboo, West Baraboo, North Freedom, and a portion of Lake Delton. [1]
The City of Baraboo incorporated in 1882. [2] When the school district was first established, the district was solely within the City of Baraboo; the district charged tuition for students living in West Baraboo in other surrounding areas. The Mayor of Baraboo appointed members of the school board. [3]
The city had three wards upon its creation, and the initial plan was that one school building would serve one ward. New schools were built to serve those wards. [2]
The board system changed to one where citizens vote for board members in 1938. The district expanded in size in 1961-1962, so areas previously paying tuition no longer had to. [3]

Preschools:
In 1885 the $8,000 First Ward School opened at the intersection of Summit Street and Sixth Avenue. [2]
The Second Ward School, a Queen Anne style building, was built in 1889. The Madison company Conover & Porter designed it. [14]
On January 9, 1883, the Third Ward School, a six classroom Queen Anne building, opened after having been under construction since 1882. The school was located at Elm Street at Grove Street. The Third Ward had a major population increase due to the 1871 construction of a railroad. [2]
According to the Baraboo Historical Society, in 1950 a fire ruined the First Ward School building. [2] A document posted by the Baraboo Public Library stated that the fire destroyed the Second Ward School Building. [5]
Some former schools were acquired by the district in the 1960s. [3] Lyons, now known as West Baraboo, was served by a wood schoolhouse until a permanent brick one was built in 1901. The former wood building became a storage unit and was relocated to Oschner Park. The brick building was razed in 1981. [14] The $56,444 Pleasant Valley School opened in 1956. The $93,889 Fairfield Center School, [3] located 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of the center of Baraboo, [15] opened in 1960. [3]
