Summary

Huntley Elementary is a PK–5 school in Appleton, WI, part of the Appleton Area School District, serving 570 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby elementary schools listed here. After several years of strong results, Huntley’s overall rank fell to 690th of 1,039 schools in 2025–26, placing it at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, down from 4 stars in 2022–23 and 2023–24. Among nearby schools, it now ranks below Classical School (93rd percentile, 5 stars), Westside Elementary (4 stars), and Ferber Elementary, Richmond Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, but above Johnston Elementary, Appleton Bilingual School, and Edison Elementary.

The 2025–26 Forward Exam results are uneven. Third grade is the biggest concern: 30.56% proficient in ELA and 25% in math, both far below district and state; the 3rd-grade math result is the lowest among nearby schools. Fourth grade is mixed: social studies is strong at 70.45%, above district and state, but 4th-grade ELA, math, and science are below district and/or state. Fifth grade is a relative strength, with ELA at 55.32% and math at 53.19%, both above district and state. Compared with 2024–25, scores fell sharply in most areas, especially 3rd- and 4th-grade math, 4th-grade ELA, 5th-grade math, and 4th-grade science. Subgroup effectiveness also declined; English Language Learner students rank at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, and low socio-economic status students at the 17th percentile with 1 star.

Some structural indicators are more encouraging. Chronic absenteeism was 6.4% in 2024–25, far below district and state rates and better than most nearby schools, after improving from 21.8% in 2021–22. Free/reduced lunch is 33.16%, moderate locally, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.7:1, improved from 15.7:1. Per-student spending was $15,656 in 2024–25; the 2023–24 figure of $4,819 appears to be a data anomaly. For parents, the key takeaway is that the school has favorable attendance and moderate resources, but the 2025–26 academic decline is broad. The most urgent areas are 3rd-grade math and ELA, 4th-grade math and science, and effectiveness for English Language Learner and low-income students. Stronger 5th-grade results and low absenteeism provide a base to build from.

Huntley Elementary is a unique community with a wonderful caring staff and fabulous teachers who really seem to care about the well being of their students. I can't understand why this school only has two stars. We couldn't be happier with our school and will greatly miss it when our children move on. Close Quote
