Summary:
Superior School District in Wisconsin includes five PK–5 elementary schools serving 1,647 students in the Superior area. The district is rated 230th of 432 statewide, or the 47th percentile with 2 stars, yet four of these five elementary schools earned 3 stars in 2025–2026. Four Corners Elementary is the top-ranked and most improved school, reaching 326th of 1,039 (69th percentile, 3 stars) and rising from 43rd percentile in 2023–2024. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism (4.0%), lowest free/reduced lunch rate (10.5%), smallest enrollment (200 students), and standout 3rd grade math (88.0%) and 3rd grade ELA (80.0%). Cooper Elementary is a balanced high performer, ranking 351st (66th percentile, 3 stars), with the highest 4th grade Social Studies score (84.48%) and strong 4th and 5th grade ELA.
Other schools show different profiles. Bryant Elementary ranks 407th (61st percentile, 3 stars), has low absenteeism (9.0%), and strong 4th grade math (63.41%) and 5th grade math (60.0%). Great Lakes Elementary ranks 460th (56th percentile, 3 stars) and has the strongest ELA results—3rd grade 69.81%, 4th grade 64.71%, 5th grade 69.77%—but lower 4th grade math (41.18%) and Science (49.02%), plus the lowest per-student spending ($15,296) and highest student/teacher ratio (16.0). Northern Lights Elementary is the largest school (453 students) and ranks 575th (45th percentile, 2 stars), the only 2-star school in this group. It has the highest per-student spending ($17,422), lowest student/teacher ratio (13.3), and highest free/reduced lunch rate (15.23%); its scores are uneven, with strong 4th grade Social Studies (72.73%) and Science (67.53%) but weak 5th grade math (31.25%) and 5th grade ELA (42.19%).
Chronic absenteeism is a district strength: every school is below the district’s 14.7% and the state’s 17.3%. Spending does not clearly track with outcomes here, since Northern Lights spends the most but ranks lowest, while Great Lakes spends the least yet earns 3 stars and has the strongest ELA. Math is more uneven than ELA across the group. The district’s 2-star rating masks stronger elementary performance in this list, with four of five schools at 3 stars.
