Summary:
Stetsonville, Wisconsin is a single-school town in this data set: Stetsonville Elementary is the only school of any type in the city, serving 203 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Medford Area Public School District.
Parents should know this building performs well above the Wisconsin average. In 2025-2026, Stetsonville Elementary beat the state on all six subject-and-grade tests, holding a 4-star rating at the 70th percentile of roughly 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — higher than its own district's 60th percentile. Science is the signature strength: 4th-grade science proficiency was 76.19%, against 65.43% for the district and 53.46% statewide, a gap of nearly 23 points, and it was even wider the year before. Mathematics is also strong, at 70% in 3rd grade and 59.52% in 4th, both above district and state. Attendance is exceptional at 5.4% chronic absenteeism, roughly one-third of the district's 14.7% and well under the state's 17.3%. Average proficiency across all six tests was about 10 points above the state in both years.
The watch items are equally clear. Fourth-grade math fell about 13 points year over year (72.5 to 59.52) and 4th-grade social studies fell about 13.6 points (85 to 71.43), though both remained above the state average. English Language Arts is the narrowest margin over the state and the one subject where the district outperforms the school in both years. Statewide percentile slipped from 80 to 70, even as the 4-star rating held. Finally, because Stetsonville has no middle or high school, all 203 students leave for grades 5 and up — a handoff into a district ranked 60th percentile.
