Summary

Southwood Glen Elementary is a PK–5 public school serving 370 students in Franklin, WI, part of the Franklin Public School District. It ranks 156th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026 (85th percentile, 4 stars) — the highest-ranked of the listed district elementaries, ahead of Ben Franklin Elementary (251st) and Pleasant View Elementary (273rd). It sits just behind nearby College Park Elementary (114th), Meadowview Elementary (144th), and Highland View Elementary (147th), and comfortably ahead of the Oak Creek–Franklin schools. It has held steady in the 83rd–85th percentile for four years, though that is below its pre-pandemic peak, when it ranked in the top 2% of the state.

English Language Arts is a clear strength: proficiency is above both district and state in grades 3, 4, and 5, averaging about 74.4% versus roughly 68.7% districtwide and 53.2% statewide. Fourth-grade science is the standout — 69.09% proficient, above the district's 64.75% and the state's 53.46%, and the highest among the nearby schools listed. Math is mixed. Third grade is excellent at 82.69%, but fourth-grade math (70.91%) has come in slightly below the district for three straight years, and fifth-grade math fell to 58.21% in 2025–2026 — well below the district and only about six points above the state. Averaged across grades 3–5, math is roughly 70.6% versus 71.9% for the district.

Two other things stand out. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 5.2%, compared with 7.6% for the district and 17.3% statewide — second only to College Park among nearby schools. And 15.14% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest among all nearby schools, which is important context when comparing results. Subgroup rankings show unusually strong outcomes for Hispanic students (93rd percentile) and English Language Learner students (99th percentile), while effectiveness with low-income students (41st percentile) and special education students (48th percentile) has slipped. At $13,628 per student and a 14.9 student–teacher ratio, the school spends less than several nearby peers while remaining competitive.
