Summary:
The Peshtigo School District in Wisconsin contains just one elementary school, Peshtigo Elementary, which serves grades PK–6 to 580 students at 341 N Emery Ave in Peshtigo. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, any comparison of one school against another is not possible here; instead, the useful comparisons are between this school, its district, and the state of Wisconsin as a whole.
The clearest strength is attendance. Peshtigo Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 6.3% is well below the district's 11.0% and less than half the state's 17.3%. That is a strong result, particularly since 42.24% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Academically, math is generally a bright spot. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade math scored 60.27% proficient against a state figure of 54.75%, 4th grade math reached 62.86% versus 52.87% statewide, and 6th grade math hit 66.67% against 53.60%. Sixth grade ELA also stood out at 60.27% versus the state's 54.95%. The school's simple math average, 58.01%, came in about 4.8 points above the state.
There are real areas of concern. School rank has slipped steadily, from the 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, moving it to roughly the middle of Wisconsin elementary schools. Fifth grade math fell sharply, from 62.34% to 42.25% — a 20.09-point drop that took it from 9.76 points above the state to 9.56 points below. Fifth grade ELA also declined 11.64 points. Science was below the state in both years and the gap widened, while 4th grade social studies tumbled 10.34 points after a standout 2024–2025. Families should weigh the strong attendance record and solid math results in grades 3, 4, and 6 against this downward overall trend.
