Summary

Almond-Bancroft Elementary is a small public school in Almond, Wisconsin, serving 171 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Almond-Bancroft School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 774th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (26th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranked 406th of 432 statewide (6th percentile). Over the past decade the school has generally placed between the 14th and 48th percentiles. It is smaller than nearly every nearby elementary school — only Coloma Elementary and Chain Exploration Center enroll fewer students.

Academically, Almond-Bancroft Elementary scored below the Wisconsin average in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade in 2025–26. The largest gaps were 4th-grade English language arts (31.03% proficient vs. 53.87% statewide) and 5th-grade math (33.33% vs. 51.81%); the closest results to state were 4th-grade math (48.28% vs. 52.87%) and 4th-grade social studies (62.07% vs. 65.51%). Notably, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.2 students per teacher in 2024–25) and the highest per-student spending ($17,154) among nearby schools, up from $14,049 in 2021–22. About 49.12% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. A clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 23.5% in 2021–22 to 8.5% in 2024–25, better than both the district (8.7%) and the state (17.3%).

Nearby comparisons are instructive. Wild Rose Elementary serves a similar poverty level (47.1% free/reduced lunch) but spends far less ($13,985) and posted much higher proficiency, including 69.05% in 3rd-grade ELA. Tri-County Elementary, the nearest school, has a similar overall rank but higher absenteeism and poverty, with mixed academic results. Grant Elementary, Chain Exploration Center, Amherst Elementary and McDill Elementary all outperform Almond-Bancroft substantially while spending less per student. Overall, this is a resource-rich school with improving attendance but below-average achievement; the priorities are protecting the attendance gains, understanding why smaller classes and higher spending are not yet producing stronger results, and learning from higher-performing nearby schools.
