Summary

Roberts Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 270 Candy Ln in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, serving 317 students as part of the Fond du Lac School District — the fourth-largest of the district's nine elementary schools.

The headline for parents is momentum. In 2025-2026, Roberts ranked 232nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 78th percentile, 4 stars — up from the 51st percentile and 3 stars the year before and just the 23rd percentile (1 star) in 2021-2022, a climb of roughly 55 percentile points in four years. The school beat both the district and the state in seven of eight subject/grade combinations tested in 2025-2026, with the largest gap over the district in 4th grade Science (+19.8 points) and the largest over the state in 4th grade ELA (+17.0). Its low-income students stand out even more: that group ranks at the 90th percentile (5 stars), higher than the school's own overall result, up from the 33rd percentile two years earlier.

Locally, Roberts is the second-strongest of eleven schools examined, behind only Lakeshore Elementary — and it serves a free/reduced-lunch population roughly three times Lakeshore's. Compared with the closest matches on student need, Waters Elementary and Rosenow Elementary, Roberts ranks higher while already spending more per student ($16,523). Spending alone doesn't explain results here: Pier Elementary ($16,816) and Parkside Elementary ($16,873) rank at the 22nd and 15th percentiles. Two items to watch: special education students slipped from the 74th percentile (4 stars) to the 46th (2 stars) over three years — the only subgroup below 3 stars — and chronic absenteeism rose to 14.8%, better than district and state but above nearby peers such as Waters and Rosenow.
