Summary:
Seneca Elementary is the only elementary school serving the Seneca Area School District, a small rural district in Seneca, Wisconsin, so families in this area have a single PK–5 option with 109 students enrolled. Because the district has just one elementary school, the district's elementary test scores are the same as the school's, and the most useful comparison is Seneca Elementary against the Wisconsin state average.
Overall, the school performs above the state average, and in 2025–2026 it topped the state in 6 of 8 reported tests. Science is the clearest strength: 75% proficient versus the state's 53.46% in 2025–2026, and 81.82% versus 50.83% the year before. Social studies, tested only in 4th grade, was 100% in 2024–2025 and 66.67% in 2025–2026, both above state. Fourth-grade English Language Arts is consistently strong at 75% and 72.73%, more than 20 points above state both years. Math is more uneven — 3rd grade reached 84.62% in 2025–2026, but 4th grade fell below state in both years (50% and 45.45%). The lowest result is 5th-grade ELA in 2025–2026 at 33.33%, down from 55.56% the prior year.
Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 5.1%, compared with 12.1% for the district and 17.3% statewide. The school spends $17,196 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6, and about half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Its statewide rank improved from 407th to 342nd and from the 62nd to the 67th percentile, holding a 3-star rating. Because grade-level groups are small, one student can shift results by 8–9 points, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
