Summary

Abbotsford Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Abbotsford, Wisconsin, with 406 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and is part of the Abbotsford School District, which is ranked 419 out of 426 districts in the state.

Abbotsford Elementary significantly underperforms the state average on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.26% of 3rd graders, 8.16% of 4th graders, and 23.81% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 52.14%, 52.21%, and 51.26% respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.1% to 19.5% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Abbotsford Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.85% to 75.52% over the past few years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like Greenwood Elementary, Loyal Elementary, and Stratford Elementary, Abbotsford Elementary performs significantly worse, with higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serving more advantaged student populations. The school's declining performance and resource constraints, such as a relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than the state average, suggest that it may require substantial support and intervention to improve student outcomes.
