Summary:
Cashton Elementary is the only elementary school in the Cashton School District, serving PK–5 with 292 students, so there is no in-district elementary comparison available.
The school's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 3.2% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin's 17.3% and about five times lower than the state rate. Academically, results are mixed by grade and subject. Fourth-grade math was 67.44% proficient (14.57 points above state) and fifth-grade math 60% (8.19 points above state), while third-grade math was 40% (14.75 points below state) and fell 10 points from the prior year. Fourth-grade social studies was strong at 72.09% (6.58 points above state), but fourth-grade science dropped from above state to 46.51%, now 6.95 points below. ELA was steady or improving: third grade rose 5.45 points to 51.28%, fourth grade held near state at 53.49%, and fifth grade improved 3.48 points to 55%, slightly above state. The school ranked 529 of 1,039 (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 56th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024, though the last two years are essentially flat. The elementary school's 49th percentile is higher than the district's overall 38th percentile ranking.
Other context: 40.41% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,156, and the student-teacher ratio is 10.4. With 292 students spread across PK–5, individual grade-level percentages rest on small cohorts, so year-to-year swings of several points may reflect only a few students and should be read with caution.
