Summary:
The Durand-Arkansaw School District has just one elementary school in this data set: Caddie Woodlawn Elementary, located at 650 Auth St in Durand, Wisconsin. It serves grades PK–5 with 457 students, so it is the entire elementary picture for the district — every district-level elementary test result in the file matches the school exactly.
The school's clearest strength is upper-grade math. In 2025–2026, 5th grade math proficiency was 70.59% versus 51.81% statewide (18.78 points higher), and 4th grade math rose to 59.02% versus 52.87% statewide after being slightly below state the year before. Science was also above state both years, and social studies improved even while still trailing state (62.30% vs. 65.51%). Chronic absenteeism is a standout positive: 8.1% at the school, compared with 13.9% in the district and 17.3% statewide. The biggest concern is 3rd grade math, which dropped from 54.84% to 35.82% — 18.93 points below the state's 54.75% and the largest decline in the file. Third grade English Language Arts also fell below state, from 54.84% to 47.76%.
Overall, the school sits near the middle of Wisconsin elementary schools. It ranked 563 of 1,039 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, 512 of 1,044 (51st percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, and 573 of 1,061 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024. The district rank is 285 of 432 (34th percentile, 2 stars), though that likely includes other grade levels. For context, 38.73% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, spending is $14,089 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.8 to 1. The takeaway for parents: strong math in grades 4 and 5, solid science, low absenteeism, but a real need to watch 3rd grade math and reading.
