Summary
Campbellsport Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 338 students in the small community of Campbellsport, Wisconsin, part of the Campbellsport School District. It currently ranks 368th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide — the 65th percentile with 3 stars — which is above the state median but below its own district, which sits at the 76th percentile with 4 stars. The school was a 4-star, 84th-percentile school as recently as 2021–22 and has since settled into the 60th–70th percentile range. It trails nearby Eden Elementary, Allenton Elementary, Farmington Elementary, Kewaskum Elementary, and Theresa Elementary, and is most similar to Fair Park Elementary and Lomira Elementary.
Test scores are generally above the state average but below the district average. Fourth grade is the bright spot: 71.11% proficient in math (above both district and state, slightly ahead of Eden's 68.97%), 71.11% in science (well above the state), and 73.33% in social studies (slightly above district and state). ELA is a consistent relative weakness — grades 3, 4, and 5 all beat state averages but fall below district averages. Math is uneven, with 3rd grade (54.0% vs district 66.67%) and 5th grade (58.33% vs 66.23%) lagging. Chronic absenteeism is 9.0%, better than the district (10.6%) and far better than the state (17.3%), but higher than top nearby schools such as Farmington (0.8%), Allenton (1.6%), and Kewaskum (1.9%).
Resources look reasonable: a student–teacher ratio of 11.0, per-student spending of $14,109, and 26.33% free/reduced lunch. Yet Allenton and Farmington spend less and have larger classes while ranking in the 95th–97th percentile, suggesting instruction, engagement, and school culture matter more than extra money. The school's effectiveness varies by group: male students rank at the 72nd percentile versus 56th for female students, special education effectiveness fell from 87 in 2023–24 to 39 in 2024–25 before partly recovering to 49, and low-SES effectiveness improved to 65. The clearest priorities are strengthening ELA in grades 3–5, making math more consistent, reducing absenteeism, and addressing these subgroup gaps.
