Summary

Crandon Elementary is a public elementary school in Crandon, Wisconsin, serving 401 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Crandon School District, which is ranked 405 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crandon Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Crandon Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 33.33% in ELA and 28.07% in Math, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 37.3% over the past few years, well above the state average.

In comparison, the nearby Three Lakes Elementary and Elcho Elementary schools significantly outperform Crandon Elementary in academic proficiency, with higher rankings and better test scores across all subjects and grade levels. Three Lakes Elementary, in particular, stands out with its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher per-student spending, suggesting that Crandon Elementary may be underfunded and lacking the resources to support its students effectively.
