While the district as a whole demonstrates a commitment to quality education, New Holstein Elementary faces some challenges, with its statewide ranking declining from 542 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024 to 324 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, and the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (30.68%) may indicate a need for additional support and resources. Addressing these issues could be an opportunity for the district to ensure consistent excellence across all its schools.
