Summary

Country Dale Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school serving 437 students in Franklin, WI, part of the Franklin Public School District. It has earned 4 stars consistently in recent years, ranking 182nd of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025–26 — the 82nd percentile — an improvement over 78th percentile in 2024–25, though still below its 2020–21 peak of 89th percentile.

Academically, Country Dale scores above the state in every tested subject and grade. Math is its clearest strength, averaging about 73% proficient versus roughly 72% district-wide and 53% statewide, with grades 3, 4, and 5 all beating district averages. English Language Arts is the relative gap: about 66% proficient compared with roughly 69% across the district and about 53% statewide, and below the district in all three tested grades. Social studies and science also top both district and state. Among nearby schools, Country Dale sits in the middle-to-upper group — it trails Robinwood Elementary (0.85 miles away, 90th percentile) along with Canterbury Elementary and Edgerton Elementary, but outranks Ben Franklin Elementary and Pleasant View Elementary.

Chronic absenteeism was 7.0% in 2024–25, better than the district's 7.6% and far below the state's 17.3%, though several top nearby schools report 2–5%. Country Dale spends $12,402 per student — the lowest among the nearby schools compared here — and its student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is higher than many of them, yet results stay above state averages, suggesting efficient use of resources. Subgroup results are mixed: low-income students rank at the 78th percentile with 4 stars, up sharply from 58th percentile in 2023–24, and female students rank at the 86th percentile. English Language Learner students (52nd percentile) and special education students (64th percentile) sit lower and have declined from earlier highs, making those areas worth watching. Overall, Country Dale is a solid, high-performing school whose clearest opportunities are grade-4 ELA and those subgroup gaps.
