Summary:
Elementary schools located in Whitehall School District consist of a single school: Whitehall Memorial Elementary in Whitehall, Wisconsin, which serves prekindergarten through 5th grade to 439 students. Because the district has only this one elementary campus, district elementary test results mirror the school's numbers exactly. The district overall ranks 370th of 432 districts statewide (14th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranks 700th of 1039 schools in 2025–2026 (33rd percentile, 2 stars) — an improvement from 719th the previous year, though still below its 2023–2024 rank of 654th.
Encouraging signs: 5th grade English language arts in 2025–2026 reached 62.96% proficient, 9.33 percentage points above the state, and 5th grade math in 2024–2025 hit 60.00%, 7.42 points above state. Fourth grade ELA stayed close to state averages both years. The clearest concern is math in 2025–2026, where grades 3–5 averaged 37.53% against a state average of 53.14%; 3rd grade math was 32.14% (22.61 points below state) and 5th grade math 37.04% (14.77 points below). Notably, grades 3–5 ELA improved in every grade between the two years, while math declined in every grade — 5th grade math dropped 22.96 points.
Other context: chronic absenteeism is 12.6%, better than the state's 17.3% but worse than the district's 7.7%. About half of students (50.57%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 13:1, and per-student spending is $14,871. Parents should also note that 2024–2025 results include 6th grade tests even though the school is listed as PK–5, suggesting a grade reconfiguration or a reporting inconsistency.
