Summary

Northland Pines Elementary-Eagle River is a PK–6 public school serving 484 students in the Northwoods community of Eagle River, Wisconsin, as part of the Northland Pines School District. It is by far the largest elementary in its area — Northland Pines Elementary-Land O' Lakes (51 students), Phelps Elementary (61), Northland Pines Montessori Learning Center (NPMLC) (69), Northland Pines Elementary-St Germain (87) and Sugar Camp Elementary (111) are all much smaller. It is also the only school in its district serving grades 5 and 6; the district's other elementaries are PK–4.

Academically, the school ranks in the 48th percentile statewide with 2 stars, placing it mid-to-low among local options. Every nearby school except Phelps ranks higher: Montessori (96th percentile, 5 stars), Land O' Lakes (88th), Sugar Camp (81st), Three Lakes Elementary (80th) and St. Germain (75th). Math tends to be the stronger subject: in grades 5 and 6, math proficiency beat both district and state rates, and grade 4 math topped the state. Grade 6 English language arts also exceeded district and state averages. The clearest concerns are the early grades — third-grade reading (40.98%) and math (52.46%) fell below both district and state — along with fourth-grade social studies and science, which lagged district levels.

On the positive side, attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism was 10.4% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 13.7% and the state's 17.3%. Results for students from low-income families have improved sharply, now ranking in the top quarter of the state's schools. Per-student spending is $17,474 — lower than most nearby schools — with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio and about 45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, families get a large, improving school with strong attendance, solid upper-grade math, and early-grade fundamentals worth watching.
