Summary

Tibbets Elementary is a PK–5 school in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, serving 431 students in the Elkhorn Area School District, and it is one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in the state.

In 2025–2026, Tibbets ranked 56th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (95th percentile, 5 stars), placing it in the top 5% statewide and ahead of every nearby school in this comparison. For example, West Side Elementary ranked 173rd (83rd percentile, 4 stars), Eagleville Charter School 317th (69th percentile, 3 stars), Prairie View Elementary 392nd (62nd percentile, 3 stars), and Jackson Elementary 416th (60th percentile, 3 stars). Tibbets’ test proficiency is strong across subjects: 4th-grade Social Studies reached 96.72% and 4th-grade Science 81.97%, both far above state averages. Its average of eight reported 2025–2026 proficiency rates is about 81.0%, compared with roughly 71.8% at West Side and lower rates at most other nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was just 1.4% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 6.0% and the state’s 17.3%.

The school is also notably effective across student groups. Its low-socioeconomic-status students ranked 22nd of 848 (97th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, after ranking 3rd of 870 (100th percentile) in 2024–2025. Special education students improved to 84th of 791 (89th percentile, 4 stars), and male and female students both ranked at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Tibbets has been a 5-star school since 2017–2018, with a peak of 15th of 1,044 in 2024–2025. It achieves this with a free/reduced lunch rate of 23.9%, spending of $14,483 per student, and a 15.9 student–teacher ratio—less spending and a higher ratio than many nearby schools, yet stronger outcomes. One area to watch: 5th-grade ELA and math remain above district and state averages but are lower than the school’s own 3rd- and 4th-grade results.
