Summary

Edgar Elementary is a public elementary school in Edgar, Wisconsin, serving 263 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edgar School District, which is ranked 173 out of 426 districts in the state.

Edgar Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 300 to 695 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's performance on the Forward Exam was above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5, with proficiency rates ranging from 48% to 73.47%. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates fluctuating significantly from year to year. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7% to 19.5% over the past few years.

Comparing Edgar Elementary to nearby schools, such as Stratford Elementary, which has consistently outperformed Edgar Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, highlights the importance of considering the broader educational landscape and identifying best practices that can be shared across schools to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism at Edgar Elementary and the surrounding schools in the Edgar School District and Wausau School District suggest that addressing this issue should be a priority, as it is likely contributing to the fluctuations in academic performance.
