Summary:
Elementary schools in the Seymour Community School District consist of two schools enrolling 898 students: Rock Ledge Elementary, which serves PK–5 with 553 students, and Black Creek Elementary, which serves PK–8 with 345 students. The district is ranked 293 of 432 in Wisconsin — about the 32nd percentile — and holds a 2-star rating. Because Black Creek includes middle grades, the fairest comparison between the two schools is on the overlapping grades 3–5.
Both schools earned 2 stars in 2025-26. Rock Ledge Elementary improved markedly, moving from 738 of 1,044 (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2024-25 to 562 of 1,039 (46th percentile) in 2025-26 — a 176-position jump that puts it near the state median. Black Creek Elementary has held steady at roughly the 40th percentile across all three years (621, 620, and 624 respectively) but sits slightly below the state median. Both schools report chronic absenteeism well below the district and state rate of 17.3%: 11.1% at Rock Ledge and 12.9% at Black Creek. Spending is nearly identical ($16,269 vs $16,186), though Rock Ledge has the smaller student-teacher ratio, 12 versus 13.7.
On 2025-26 grades 3–5 tests, Rock Ledge averaged 54.6 overall versus 45.6 for Black Creek — reversing 2024-25, when Black Creek led 49.1 to 46.6. Rock Ledge's strengths are 4th grade Science (62.32% vs 53.46% statewide), Social Studies, ELA and Math; its weak spot is 5th grade Math at 38.20%. Black Creek's results are uneven: 6th grade ELA (82.35%) and 5th grade ELA (68.57%) far exceed state averages, while 4th grade Math (19.35%) and 8th grade ELA, Science and Social Studies fall well below. Small grade cohorts mean one year of data should be read with caution.
