Summary

Rosenow Elementary serves about 351 students in grades PK–5 at 290 Weis Ave, on the north side of Fond du Lac, where it is one of nine Fond du Lac School District elementary schools packed into a roughly 2.5-mile radius. In 2025‑26 it ranked 512th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (51st percentile, 3 stars) — right at the state median and slightly above the district's own standing of 226th of 432 districts. Among its eight same-district neighbors, Rosenow places 4th of 9, behind only Lakeshore Elementary, Roberts Elementary, and Waters Elementary.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism of 9.7% is about half the district rate (18.2%) and the state rate (17.3%), down sharply from 17.4% in 2022‑23. Math is the stronger subject, at roughly 58.5% proficient versus 53.1% statewide, with 4th-grade math at 68.89 (state 52.87) and 4th-grade science at 60 (state 53.46). The school has also climbed steadily, from the 29th percentile in 2018‑19 to 53rd in 2024‑25 and 51st in 2025‑26. The current 4th-grade class is the engine of those results, beating both district and state in all four tested subjects.

The clearest gap is early literacy: 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 42.22, nearly 10 points below the state and almost 9 below the district. Low-income students (40th percentile) and Hispanic students (38th percentile) also score below the school's overall 51st percentile. Rosenow achieves this at lower cost than nearly every nearby school — $14,802 per student with a 13.5 student–teacher ratio, compared with Chegwin Elementary at $17,623, Pier Elementary at $16,816, and Parkside Elementary at $16,873 — all of which rank lower statewide. Roberts Elementary shows what is possible nearby, with nearly identical poverty rates (50.47% vs. Rosenow's 51.28%) but a 232nd-place ranking and 4 stars.
