Summary

Chegwin Elementary is a PK–5 school with 296 students at 109 E Merrill Ave in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, part of the Fond du Lac School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 686 of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 34th percentile, with 2 stars — a clear step up from recent years, when it sat at the 22nd percentile in 2024–2025, 17th in 2023–2024, and 11th in 2021–2022. It is the school's strongest showing since 2016–2017.

Among nine nearby elementaries in the same district, Chegwin ranks sixth. It lands above Riverside Elementary (32nd percentile), Pier Elementary (22nd), and Parkside Elementary (15th), but below Evans Elementary (46th), Rosenow Elementary (51st), Waters Elementary (61st), Roberts Elementary (78th), and Lakeshore Elementary (99th). Chegwin serves a higher-need population than most of those schools: 75.34% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, compared with 16.1% at Lakeshore. Chronic absenteeism is 23.6%, above the district's 18.2% and well above Lakeshore's 4.8%.

Test results are mixed. Fourth grade is a bright spot in 2025–2026: 62.07% proficient in English language arts and 65.52% in math, both above district and state averages, and a big one-year jump for that group of students. Third and fifth grades, however, fall below district and state in both subjects, and science and social studies are also below average. Encouragingly, nearly every subject and grade improved over 2024–2025, and several subgroups rank well above the school's overall standing — English learners at the 80th percentile and special education students at the 64th. Students from low-income families remain the clearest challenge, at the 28th percentile. Chegwin spends $17,623 per student and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.5) among nearby schools.
