Summary

Dyer Elementary is a PK–4 school in Burlington, Wisconsin, serving 395 students as part of the Burlington Area School District. Its 2025–26 state rank is 536 of 1,039 elementary schools — the 48th percentile, 2 stars — down from the 71st percentile in 2023–24 and the lowest mark in its recorded 10-year history. Per-pupil spending is $15,210 and the student-teacher ratio is 14.7, a resource picture that isn't obviously underfunded.

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism is just 1.9%, compared with 3.6% in the district and 17.3% statewide, so the school's academic gaps are not being driven by missed days. Third grade math is the clearest bright spot at 72.34%, above the district and about 17.6 points above the state. Dyer also serves its special education students well, ranking at the 74th percentile or higher for three straight years with 4-star results.

The weak spot is 4th grade, where ELA (43.86%), social studies and science all fall below district and state levels, and 4th grade math is above the state but below the district. Within the district, Cooper Montessori (86th percentile), Waller Elementary (65th) and Winkler Elementary (53rd) now rank above Dyer, as do most nearby schools elsewhere, such as Randall Consolidated School (82nd) and Eastview Elementary (80th). The sharpest concern is the low-income student subgroup, which dropped from the 81st percentile in 2024–25 to the 28th in 2025–26 — a decline not explained by rising poverty, since the free/reduced lunch rate dipped from 42.44% to 39.24%. Winkler serves a higher low-income share (49.28%) and still ranks higher, so this is not purely a demographics story. The current 3rd grade is stronger than last year's, which could lift next year's 4th grade if the gains hold.
