Summary:
Colgate, Wisconsin has just one school in this data set — Amy Belle Elementary, a PK–5 elementary school with 356 students in the Germantown School District — so parents here are served by a single neighborhood elementary, with middle and high school options listed under other cities.
That one school is performing at a high level. Amy Belle Elementary ranked 65th out of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–26, putting it in the 94th percentile with 5 stars, and in the top 6% of ranked schools statewide. Its rank has climbed steadily, from the 76th percentile in 2023–24 to the 90th in 2024–25 to the 94th in 2025–26, moving from 4 stars to 5. Within the Germantown School District, it ranks 54th of 432 schools, an 88th percentile, 4-star placement. Proficiency on the Forward Exam tops state averages in every reported subject and grade. Math is a standout, with 2025–26 proficiency of 83.33% in 3rd grade, 78.13% in 4th, and 80% in 5th, against state rates near 52–55%. Fourth grade social studies reached 90.63% versus 65.51% statewide, and 4th grade science hit 78.13% versus 53.46%. The one district gap is 5th grade English language arts, where the school’s 77.5% trails the district’s 81.2% but still well exceeds the state’s 53.63%.
Chronic absenteeism is a notable bright spot: 3.2% at the school, compared with 7.5% across the district and 17.3% statewide — the state rate is more than five times the school’s. For context, 16.29% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,273, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.2. Year-over-year scores are mostly rising, though individual grade-level results vary and reflect different groups of students each year, so parents should read those changes with some caution.
