Coon Valley Elementary has posted a dramatic turnaround. It ranked 816th of 1,061 Wisconsin schools in 2023–2024 (23rd percentile, 1 star), 602nd of 1,044 in 2024–2025 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), and 98th of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (91st percentile, 5 stars) — a 718-position gain over two years, with 504 of it in the latest year. In 2025–2026 it beat both its district and the state in every reported Forward Exam area: 3rd grade ELA at 76.92%, 4th grade ELA at 77.78%, 3rd grade math at 76.92%, 4th grade math at 61.11%, 4th grade social studies at 88.89%, and 4th grade science at 77.78%. Average proficiency across these six areas rose from 52.02% to 76.57% in one year, while the district moved from about 53.23% to 60.75% and the state barely changed. The district itself is rated 3 stars and ranked 136th of 432, making this school a clear bright spot within it.
Other metrics support the picture. Chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, below the district's 16.5% and the state's 17.3%; free/reduced lunch is 23.2%; spending per student is $16,265; and the student-teacher ratio is 10.3. Keep in mind this is a small school — with 125 students, a single grade cohort is tiny, so year-to-year percentages can swing widely with only a few students changing results.
