Summary:
Knapp, Wisconsin has just one elementary school in this data set — Knapp Elementary, a public PK–5 school in the Menomonie Area School District serving 91 students at 110 South St. Because there are no other elementary schools in the city to compare it with, the most useful yardsticks are its district, the state, and the school’s own prior-year results.
Knapp Elementary’s strongest showing in 2025-2026 was 3rd grade English language arts, where 80% of students were proficient — far above the district’s 47.71% and the state’s 52.08%. Fifth grade math reached 71.43% proficient versus 56.43% in the district and 51.81% statewide, and 4th grade social studies (75%) and science (65%) also came in above both benchmarks. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 11.0% in 2024-2025, lower than the district’s 15.3% and the state’s 17.3%. The school also has a small student-teacher ratio of 9.2 and spends $14,961 per student, with 34.07% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Its state rank of 367 of 1039 puts it in the 65th percentile with 3 stars, above the district’s listed 47th percentile and 2 stars.
Some results are more mixed. Fifth grade ELA fell from 68.75% to 50% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, slightly below both the district and the state, and 3rd grade math was only 36.84% in 2024-2025 — well below the district’s 50% and the state’s 55% — before improving to 50% in 2025-2026, still under the state’s 54.75%. Science and social studies both declined year over year, though each remained above average. The school’s rank has eased from 78th percentile with 4 stars in 2023-2024 to the 65th percentile with 3 stars in each of the last two years. With only 91 students across PK–5, each grade tests a small number of children, so one student can move a proficiency rate by several points and year-to-year swings should be read with that in mind.
