Summary:
The Marion School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Marion Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining and its academic performance showing mixed results on standardized tests.
Despite maintaining a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Marion Elementary has seen its statewide ranking drop from 740 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 627 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is also mixed, with the school performing above the state average in some subject areas and grade levels, while falling below the state average in others.
One notable characteristic of Marion Elementary is its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.42% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, suggesting smaller class sizes, and its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $12,610, which is higher than the state average.
