Summary:
The Cochrane-Fountain City School District has one elementary school, Cochrane-Fountain City Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 285 students.

Cochrane-Fountain City Elementary has maintained consistent high performance on the Forward Exam, with 73.17% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 55%. The school also ranked 200 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2023-2024, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, which can contribute to more personalized attention for students.
However, the school does face some challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state's goal of 13% or less. Additionally, 41.05% of students at Cochrane-Fountain City Elementary were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, suggesting potential economic challenges faced by the student population. Despite these concerns, the district appears to be allocating resources effectively, with higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,472 in the 2020-2021 school year.
