Summary:
Florence County School District in Wisconsin has just one elementary school, Florence Elementary, serving grades PK–6 to 197 students in the town of Florence; the Florence County School District itself is ranked 191 of 432 districts in the state, placing it at the 56th percentile with a 3-star rating. Because this is the only elementary school in the district, district-level elementary test results are the same as the school's.
The school's clearest strength is student attendance: chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 5.7%, far below the district's 8.8% and roughly one-third of the state's 17.3%, which points to strong student engagement. Academically, results vary a lot by grade. 4th grade is the brightest spot, with science and social studies proficiency both at 74.07% — above the state's 53.46% in science and 65.51% in social studies — and 4th grade improved in all four tested subjects, including a 31-point jump in science and a 23-point gain in math. 6th grade is also strong, at 68.18% proficient in both ELA and math, well above state averages. The main concern is math in the earlier and middle grades: only 21.43% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, 33.32 percentage points below the state, and 5th grade math was 35.48% versus 51.81% statewide. ELA is now roughly at the state level overall, though 5th grade trails it by about 8 points.
Overall, the school is trending upward. It climbed from 737 of 1044 schools (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025 to 577 of 1039 (44th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, a 160-position gain, though it still sits below the state median. Resources are favorable: a 9.8 student-teacher ratio and $18,778 per-student spending, with 46.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Because grade sizes are small, year-to-year swings can reflect just a few students, so families should read single-year changes with some caution.
