Summary:
Holmen School District in Wisconsin serves four elementary schools — Prairie View Elementary, Sand Lake Elementary, Viking Elementary, and Evergreen Elementary — all covering grades PK–5 and together enrolling about 1,501 students, or roughly 375 per school. The Holmen School District itself is ranked 138 out of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.
Sand Lake is the current standout: it improved to 366/1039 (65th percentile) in 2025–2026, the only school to rise year over year, and posted the highest proficiency average at 62.4, leading the group in ELA and Science. It also has the best student-teacher ratio at 10.9. Prairie View is the largest school (466 students) with the lowest free/reduced lunch rate and lowest per-student spending; it leads in Social Studies (75.29) but its rank slid from 213/1061 to 405/1039. Viking has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (31.55%) yet the second-highest proficiency average and the strongest Math average (57.2). Evergreen has the lowest absenteeism (0.9%) and highest spending ($17,761), but the steepest decline — from 86th percentile and 4 stars down to 52nd percentile and 3 stars, with its simple average falling 6.7 points.
Two things parents should note. First, 4th grade Math was a district-wide weak spot in 2025–2026 (district 50.94, below the state's 52.87), with every school dropping sharply; only Evergreen stayed above both district and state in that cell. Second, spending and poverty rates do not map neatly onto results, and chronic absenteeism is very low at all four schools — between 0.9% and 2.5%, far below the state's 17.3%.
