Best Elementary Schools in Luck, WI

The city of Luck, Wisconsin is home to a single elementary school, Luck Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas compared to the state, it also faces significant challenges that place it in the bottom 30% of Wisconsin elementary schools.

Luck Elementary is ranked 745 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has an overall rating of just 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school district that Luck Elementary is part of, Luck School District, is also ranked 325 out of 426 districts in the state and has the same 1 out of 5 star rating. Additionally, Luck Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Luck Elementary's per-student spending is higher than the state average, this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam vary across grade levels and subject areas, but generally lag behind state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 58.33% (vs. 52.14% statewide), but 4th grade ELA proficiency was only 26.09% (vs. 52.21% statewide). The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1 could be a strength, but it does not seem to be enough to overcome the school's other challenges.
