Summary:

Junction City, Wisconsin has one listed school, Kennedy Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 170 students, and it belongs to the Stevens Point Area Public School District. No middle, high, or alternative schools appear in the area data, and the district overall ranks 211 of 432 statewide, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars.

Kennedy's clearest strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate in 2024–25 was 8.2%, roughly half the district's 17.7% and the state's 17.3%. The school also posted sharp 2025–26 gains: 4th grade Science rose from 38.10% to 57.89% proficient, and 4th grade Social Studies from 57.14% to 68.42% — both above state averages, though still below district averages. The simple ELA average climbed from 45.20% to 52.38%. Even so, Kennedy earned 2 stars in each of the last three rank-history years and sat at the 44th percentile in 2025–26, below the district's 51st percentile.

Math is the weaker area. In 2025–26, every reported math grade at Kennedy fell below the state average, with a simple average of 48.69% against 53.26% statewide and 53.99% in the district; the lowest reported result was 5th grade Math at 45%. ELA was mixed: the 52.38% simple average was just under the state's 53.63% and below the district's 57.10%, though 3rd grade ELA and 5th grade ELA exceeded the state. Context measures include 35.29% free/reduced lunch, $16,570 per-student spending, and a 13.9 student-teacher ratio. Because enrollment is small, grade-level percentages rest on few tested students, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously.
