Summary:
Elementary schools in the Fall River School District come down to a single school: Fall River Elementary, which serves grades PK–5 to 231 students in Fall River, Wisconsin. Because it is the district's only elementary school, all district elementary results reflect this one school, so the most useful comparisons are against Wisconsin state averages rather than against other nearby schools.
Fall River Elementary ranks 134th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 87th percentile with 4 stars, up from 3 stars and the 70th percentile in 2023–2024 — a gain of 186 ranking positions in two years. That improvement holds even though results varied by subject. In 2025–2026 the school beat the state proficiency rate in every reported subject and grade, with the widest margins in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (+27.92 points), 4th-grade science (+23.21 points), and 4th-grade ELA (+22.80 points). ELA rose in all three tested grades year over year, and 4th-grade science jumped from 59.46% to 76.67%. Math and social studies slipped from unusually high prior-year levels but stayed comfortably above state averages.
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is a striking strength: 1.5% in 2024–2025, compared with 5.3% for the district and 17.3% statewide. The school also reports a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, $16,583 in per-student spending, and 29.44% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. One caution for parents: with only 231 students in PK–5, a handful of students can shift a grade-level percentage sharply from year to year, so single-year swings in any one subject deserve less weight than the overall pattern — consistently above-state performance, rising rankings, and very low absenteeism.
