Summary:
Redgranite, Wisconsin has just one school in the available data: Redgranite Elementary, a PK–5 school with 130 students in the Wautoma Area School District. Because it is the only school in the city, there is no local comparison to make — families here are choosing this one school. The wider district context is low-performing: the Wautoma Area School District ranks 380 of 432 in Wisconsin (12th percentile, 1 star), while Redgranite Elementary ranks 801 of 1,039 (23rd percentile, 1 star). In 2024–25, 63.08% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $14,014, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.4.
The school's clearest strength is attendance. In 2024–25, chronic absenteeism was 11.5%, better than the district's 11.8% and well below the state's 17.3%. Third grade English Language Arts has also been a relative bright spot: 52.38% proficiency in 2025–26, just above the state's 52.08%, and 60% in 2024–25. Fourth grade improved in every tested subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — ELA up 15 points, math up 5, social studies up 10, and science up 20. The school's statewide rank has also crept up each year, from 896 of 1,061 to 843 of 1,044 to 801 of 1,039.
Challenges remain substantial. Math proficiency was below both district and state in every grade in both years — 33.33% in 3rd grade, 35% in 4th, and 28.57% in 5th in 2025–26. Fifth grade ELA is the biggest pressure point: 13.33% in 2024–25 and 23.81% in 2025–26, against a state average of 53.63%. Tracking the same students over time, proficiency tended to slip as cohorts moved up a grade, suggesting the upper-grade weakness is a pattern rather than a single class. Even with the recent gains, the school remains in the bottom quartile of Wisconsin schools.
