Summary:

The Portage Community School District in Wisconsin is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from preschool through 5th grade. While the schools share a district, they exhibit significant performance differences, with Endeavor Elementary standing out as a high-achieving institution.

Endeavor Elementary consistently ranks among the top Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, it placed 107th out of 1,044 elementary schools statewide, putting it in the top 10%. Endeavor Elementary's test scores are particularly impressive, with 100% of 4th and 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics and Social Studies, far exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Muir Elementary and Lewiston Elementary, have lower statewide rankings and test scores below the district and state averages.

The district should investigate these issues and implement strategies to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
