Summary

Erin Elementary is a public PK-8 school in Hartford, WI, serving 399 students as the sole school within the highly-ranked Erin School District (ranked 35th out of 426 districts in Wisconsin).

This school stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.4% in 2024-2025, dramatically better than the state average of 17.3% and lower than most nearby high-performing peers like Merton Primary (4.9%) and North Lake Elementary (6.5%). Erin Elementary also delivers remarkable results for students from lower-income backgrounds, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a stark contrast to elite neighboring districts like Swallow School District and Stone Bank School District, which serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students. The school achieves this with lower per-pupil spending ($10,449) than many of its high-wealth neighbors, suggesting strong value and effective resource use.

Academically, Erin Elementary excels in Science and Social Studies, with 80% of 4th graders and 80% of 8th graders proficient in Science in 2024-2025, far exceeding state averages around 50%. The school also showed impressive year-over-year improvement, jumping from the 62nd to the 84th percentile statewide. Upper-grade math performance is particularly strong, with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders all achieving proficiency rates above 75%—competitive with top-tier schools like Swallow Elementary and Stone Bank Elementary. Notably, Erin Elementary provides a significantly different educational environment than nearby Lincoln Elementary in the Hartford J1 School District, where poverty rates are higher (49% vs. 15%) and chronic absenteeism is much more prevalent (19.6% vs. 1.4%).
