Summary

Abbotsford Elementary is a PK–5 school in Abbotsford, Wisconsin, serving 374 students as part of the Abbotsford School District, which ranks 417th of 432 Wisconsin districts. About 70.59% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — the highest rate among the nearby schools compared here — and Abbotsford Elementary itself ranked 940th of 1,039 state schools in 2025–2026.

Academics are the school's central challenge. On 2025–2026 Forward Exam results, Abbotsford was below every nearby comparison school in each subject and grade shown: ELA proficiency was 28.33% in grade 3, 22.45% in grade 4, and 18.37% in grade 5, while math was 20.63%, 15.38%, and 10.20% — against state averages in the low 50s. Even Colby Elementary, roughly two miles away, outperformed Abbotsford in every current ELA and math grade. Poverty is a real headwind, but it isn't the whole explanation: Owen-Withee Elementary and Colby also serve high-poverty populations and still achieve substantially higher proficiency, and Stetsonville Elementary, above 50% free/reduced lunch, sits near the top locally.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 3.2% in 2024–2025, far below the district (7.6%) and state (17.3%) and the lowest among nearby schools — a notable strength given the school's poverty level. Per-student spending rose to $14,126, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 12:1, yet achievement hasn't followed, suggesting resources alone aren't the constraint. Statewide subgroup effectiveness rankings are low across the board, with low-income and special education students landing in the bottom 5% in 2025–2026, and the school's overall trajectory has stayed flat to declining rather than showing a one-year dip.
