Summary

Manz Elementary is a public elementary school located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serving 339 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Eau Claire Area School District, which is ranked 194 out of 426 districts in the state.

Manz Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state in English Language Arts for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, as well as in Mathematics for 4th and 5th grades. Manz Elementary has also shown strong performance across different student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Manz Elementary generally outperforms nearby schools within the Eau Claire Area School District, such as Roosevelt Elementary, Meadowview Elementary, and Putnam Heights Elementary, the Chippewa Valley Montessori Charter School has shown exceptional performance, often ranking among the top 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools. However, Manz Elementary's recent increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 10.0% in the 2023-2024 school year to 21.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, is a concern that warrants further investigation and intervention.
