Summary

Algoma Elementary is a PK–6 school in Algoma, Wisconsin, serving 301 students as part of the Algoma School District. It is currently a relative bright spot within its district: the district ranks 378th of 432 Wisconsin districts (12th percentile, 1 star), while Algoma Elementary placed 528th of 1,039 ranked elementary schools in 2025–2026 (49th percentile, 2 stars) — the school's highest percentile in its recent history, up from 23rd in 2021–2022 and 36th in 2024–2025.

Attendance and resources look like real strengths. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 7.7%, better than the district (11.4%) and state (17.3%), and better than Sawyer Elementary (9.7%) and Southern Door Elementary (8.8%), though higher than Luxemburg-Casco Intermediate (3.8%) and Kewaunee Elementary (4.3%). Per-student spending is $17,040 — more than Luxemburg-Casco Intermediate ($11,201), Luxemburg-Casco Primary ($13,405), Southern Door ($13,824) and Kewaunee ($15,387) — and the student–teacher ratio of 9.1 is the lowest among nearby schools. About 41.53% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, similar to Southern Door and Kewaunee and lower than Sunrise Elementary (49.53%) and Sawyer (52.91%).

Academically, results are mixed. Grade 4 Social Studies (79.55%) and Science (63.64%) are above state averages, and grades 3 and 4 English Language Arts also beat the state. Mathematics is the clear gap: Algoma is below the state in every tested grade (grade 3 50%, grade 4 43.18%, grade 5 37.14%, grade 6 50%) and trails most nearby schools. Grade 5 ELA (48.57%) is also below both the state and its peers. Encouragingly, subgroup results are improving broadly, with low-income students rising from the 20th to the 50th percentile and special education students from the 22nd to the 40th. Overall: an improving school with strong attendance, small classes, and an obvious opportunity in math.
