Summary

Coleman Elementary is a public PK–5 school in Coleman, Wisconsin, serving 387 students as part of the Coleman School District. The district ranks 208th of 432 in Wisconsin (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while Coleman Elementary itself ranks 646th of 1,039 (38th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026. That reflects a long decline: the school was at the 86th percentile with 4 stars in 2015–2016 and the 77th percentile with 4 stars in 2018–2019, but has sat at 2 stars and roughly the 37th–40th percentile in each of the last three years.

Academically, results are uneven. English language arts is a relative strength, averaging 56.1% in grades 3–5 versus the state's 53.2% — second only to Abrams Elementary (60.9%) among nearby schools. Fifth-grade ELA is especially strong at 64.91% (state: 53.63%) and third grade is above state at 54.39%, but fourth grade falls below at 49.06%. Math averages 45.2% versus the state's 53.1%, with the early grades the clear weak spot: third-grade math is 39.66% (state: 54.75%) and fourth grade 43.4% (state: 52.87%), while fifth grade is slightly above state at 52.63%. Fourth-grade social studies is well below state at 50.94% versus 65.51% — second-lowest nearby, ahead of only Suring Elementary — and science is 47.17% versus 53.46%.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 5.6%, far below the district's 7.9% and the state's 17.3%, with only Gillett Elementary (2.2%) and Lena Elementary (3.4%) lower nearby. Per-student spending is $12,409, the lowest among nearby schools (which range up to $20,772), and the student-teacher ratio is 13.7. About 42.38% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The most concerning pattern is how well different groups are served: low-income students rank at the 17th percentile, down from 39th two years earlier, and special education students fell from the 77th to the 26th percentile. Girls also rank notably below boys.
