Summary

Gresham Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 132 students in the small rural community of Gresham, Wisconsin, part of the Gresham School District. Its test scores match the district's exactly, which tells you this is essentially the district's only tested school. Gresham has climbed a long way: after spending much of 2015–16 through 2018–19 in the bottom 13th–21st percentile of Wisconsin elementary schools, it reached the 50th percentile (3 stars) in 2024-25 and sits at the 43rd percentile (2 stars) in 2025-26 — a slight dip from its peak, but far above its earlier lows.

Math and social studies are the clearest strengths. In 2025-26, 4th-grade math proficiency was 64.71% and 5th-grade math 61.90%, both above the state average, while 3rd-grade math (50%) came in just under state. Social studies was 70.59% versus the state's 65.51%. English language arts is the weak spot, with 3rd grade (35.71%) and 5th grade (38.10%) well below state. Locally, Gresham's 4th-grade math was the highest among nearby schools with reported data, and its 5th-grade math trailed only Marion Elementary; its ELA generally trailed Tigerton Elementary and Clintonville Elementary School. Among ranked nearby schools, only Tigerton (58th percentile) ranks higher, while Clintonville matches Gresham at 43rd, ahead of Marion (34th), Brener Elementary (29th), Bowler Elementary (13th), and Keshena Primary (3rd).

The most urgent concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism rose from 14.6% in 2022-23 to 28.4% in 2024-25, above the district's 25.5% and well above the state's 17.3%, and higher than Tigerton, Marion, Clintonville, and Bowler. Resources look favorable: per-student spending was $19,188 in 2024-25 and the student-teacher ratio improved to 10.3, both better than most neighbors, so money and class size do not appear to be the constraint. Results also vary across student groups — low-income students ranked 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2025-26, above the school's overall standing, and special education students have improved over time. Because the school is small, grade-level percentages can swing on one or two students, so multi-year trends are a better guide than any single year.
