Summary:
Denmark Elementary is the only elementary school serving the Denmark School District in Denmark, Wisconsin, teaching roughly 778 students in grades PreK through 5. Because it is the district's sole elementary building, every district-level elementary test result in this data reflects this one school, so the state is the only meaningful comparison point. The surrounding conditions are favorable: about 22.75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the district spends about $11,944 per student, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 14.8 to 1.
On the state Forward Exam, Denmark Elementary lands above average overall. In 2025-26 it beat the state in five of eight subject-and-grade results, and in 2024-25 it beat the state in seven of eight. Science and social studies are the standout subjects: 4th grade social studies reached about 74% proficient and 4th grade science about 65%, both well above the state. Fifth grade is the strongest grade level, with math near 75% against a state figure around 52%. Third grade is the weakest spot — 3rd grade English language arts fell below the state in both years.
Attendance is the school's most distinctive strength: only about 1.9% of students were chronically absent in 2024-25, far below the district's 4.3% and the state's 17.3%. The caution is momentum. The school's state ranking slipped from the 77th percentile in 2023-24 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-26, dropping from four stars to three, and its average advantage over the state narrowed from about 11 points to about 7. Fourth grade declined in every subject in 2025-26.
