Summary:
North Crawford School District is a small Wisconsin district serving about 407 students across two schools: North Crawford Elementary, which covers grades PK–8 with 284 students, and North Crawford High, which serves grades 9–12 with 123 students. The district overall is rated 2 stars, ranking 259th of 432 districts (40th percentile) — but that single rating hides two quite different schools.
North Crawford Elementary is the academic standout: 3 stars, 65th percentile, ranking 364th of 1,039 elementary schools, up from 465th of 1,044 the prior year. Its averages beat the state in ELA (59.70% vs. 54.04%), math (56.27% vs. 53.73%), social studies (73.38% vs. 65.07%), and science (60.39% vs. 52.66%). Elementary math made the biggest leap, rising from 48.75% (below the state's 53.85%) to 56.27% (above the state), helped by 6th-grade math going from 25.93% to 59.38%. Chronic absenteeism is just 2.2% versus the state's 17.3%. Performance is uneven by grade, though: 6th-grade ELA is 46.88% (state 54.95%) and 7th-grade math is 40.74% (state 55.67%).
North Crawford High is 2 stars, 31st percentile, ranking 368th of 533 — an improvement from 384th of 431, though below its 2023–2024 mark. Completion and attendance are strengths: a 100.0% graduation rate (state 92.0%), a 0.7% dropout rate (state 1.1%), and 6.5% chronic absenteeism (state 17.3%). Tenth-grade social studies jumped to 68% from 25.81% the year before, well above the state's 48.25%, but with a small cohort that swing may not be a stable trend. ACT results are the clear weakness, all far below state: ELA 34.38% (state 48.47%), math 21.88% (state 42.93%), and science 25% (state 43.2%), with math and science both declining from the prior year. The high school spends $20,247 per student at a 9.3:1 ratio, versus $18,609 and 11.1:1 at the elementary school.
