Phelps Elementary's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, has been mixed. While 4th-grade students scored at or above proficiency in ELA (50%), Math (50%), and Social Studies (87.5%) in 2024-2025, 8th-grade students struggled, with only 12.5% proficient in ELA and Math. The school's small student population of 67 students includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 56.72% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

These resources suggest the potential for more individualized attention and support for students, though it is important to ensure they are being utilized effectively to address the school's uneven academic outcomes across grade levels.
