Gresham Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 521 and 930 out of over 1,000 schools. Its student performance on the Forward Exam is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 40-52% compared to the state averages of 51-55%.
