Summary:

The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District serves about 4,267 students across 8 schools — 6 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school — in the Chippewa Falls area of Wisconsin. The district as a whole is rated at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, but that single number hides a lot: individual schools range from the 90th percentile with 4 stars down to the 26th percentile with 1 star. Test scores are reported as percent proficient, and no values in this data set are suppressed or given as ranges.

Stillson Elementary is the clear academic standout, ranked 109 of 1039 at the 90th percentile with 4 stars, and exceeding both district and state in every 2025-26 tested subject and grade — including 93.33% proficient in 4th-grade math. Halmstad Elementary (68th percentile, 3 stars) also beat district and state everywhere tested despite a 51.55% free/reduced-lunch rate. Chippewa Falls Middle (53rd percentile) is solid in math and social studies, while Chippewa Falls High improved from 2 stars to 3 stars and posts a 96.1% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide, though chronic absenteeism there is high at 24.8%.

At the other end, Parkview Elementary is the lowest-ranked school (26th percentile, 1 star), with every tested area below district and state and the district's highest free/reduced-lunch rate at 55.70%. Hillcrest Elementary is strong in 3rd grade but weak in 4th and has very low absenteeism (5.9%). Southview Elementary shines in 5th-grade math (85.37%) but lags in 4th-grade social studies. Jim Falls Elementary is the smallest school with 0.0% chronic absenteeism and the highest per-student spending ($17,638) but mid-range results. Overall, poverty, spending, and class size alone do not appear to determine outcomes here.
