Summary

Manz Elementary is a K–5 school with 342 students in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, part of the Eau Claire Area School District, and it stands out as one of the stronger elementary schools in its area. Manz is ranked 242nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–26 (77th percentile, 4 stars), while its district sits at 225th of 432 districts (48th percentile, 2 stars). Manz has been a 4-star, top-quartile school in three of the last four reported years, bouncing back from a dip to the 60th percentile in 2022–23.

Academically, Manz is above both the district and the state in every reported grade and subject for 2025–26. Averaging the eight results, about 67.6% of students were proficient at Manz, versus roughly 58.4% in the district and 54.7% statewide. Its biggest advantages are in 5th grade math (71.70, about 19 points above both district and state), 5th grade ELA (69.81), 4th grade social studies (80.00), and 3rd grade math (64.29). Manz also posts the highest 5th grade ELA and math proficiency among nearby schools such as Meadowview Elementary, Putnam Heights Elementary, and Flynn Elementary. Chronic absenteeism is a real strength: 10.1% at Manz, well below the district's 16.4% and the state's 17.3%, and improved from 14.7% in 2022–23.

Manz also serves a range of learners well. In 2025–26, every reported subgroup earned 4 stars, with Hispanic students, special education students, male students, and low-income students at or above the 80th percentile. With a moderate 39.18% free/reduced lunch rate and per-student spending of $17,920 — below the median of nearby schools — Manz appears to produce strong results without the highest spending; some nearby schools spend far more and rank lower. Watch items: 4th grade math, ELA, and science in 2025–26 came in below the exceptional 2024–25 results (still above district and state), science trails Meadowview, Altoona Intermediate, and Flynn, and current data for Asian and English Language Learner students are not available.
