Summary

Eleva-Strum Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 325 students in the small community of Strum, Wisconsin, part of the Eleva-Strum School District, where the nearest comparison schools sit 10–16 miles away. One of the most encouraging things about this school is that it performs noticeably better than its district overall: the district ranks 308th of 432 Wisconsin districts (29th percentile, 1 star), while the elementary school ranks 503rd of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). The school has moved from 2-star to 3-star territory since 2022–2023, peaking in 2024–2025 at 384th (63rd percentile) before slipping this past year.

Academically, results are mixed but have clear bright spots. Grade 4 stands out: in 2025–2026 it beat state averages in every tested subject — ELA 60.98% vs 53.87%, math 63.41% vs 52.87%, social studies 73.17% vs 65.51%, and science 63.41% vs 53.46%. Grade 5 is the most consistent concern, with ELA and math below state in each of the last four reported years. Grade 3 math has been solidly above state, but grade 3 ELA swung from 65.12% in 2024–2025 down to 39.53% in 2025–2026, below the state's 52.08%. Schoolwide, math, social studies, and science were above state averages in 2025–2026, while ELA was slightly below.

Other factors matter here too. Chronic absenteeism was just 6.2% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 9.8% and the state's 17.3%, and lower than most nearby schools — only Osseo-Fairchild Elementary and Mondovi Elementary were slightly lower. The student-teacher ratio of 11.6 is favorable compared with Fall Creek Elementary (17.3) and Whitehall Memorial Elementary (13.0), and per-student spending of $14,584 is mid-range locally. On subgroup results, the school looks stronger for female students (63rd percentile) than male students (40th), and low-SES effectiveness fell to the 26th percentile from 62nd a year earlier. In 2025–2026 the school sits near Osseo-Fairchild and Fall Creek, above Independence Elementary, and below Eau Claire's Manz Elementary and Gilmanton Elementary.
