Summary

Frederic Elementary is a public PK–5 school in Frederic, WI, serving 192 students as part of the Frederic School District. The school's state ranking has declined for two straight years: from 318th of 1,061 schools (70th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024, to 531st (49th percentile) in 2024–2025, to 650th of 1,039 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — near its lowest point in the available history. The Frederic School District ranks higher, at 143 of 432 districts (67th percentile, 3 stars), which suggests the elementary may be lagging its district context.

On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, results were mixed. Third grade English language arts (55.17% vs. 52.08% state), 5th grade math (57.58% vs. 51.81%), and 4th grade social studies (72.41% vs. 65.51%) came in above state. Social studies has been above state every year with data. But 4th grade math was only 31.03% proficient (21.84 points below state), 5th grade ELA 42.42% (11.21 below), 4th grade ELA 44.83% (9.04 below), and 4th grade science 48.28% (5.18 below). Several of these areas were stronger in 2023–2024, so this is a recent slide. Among nearby schools, Saint Croix Falls Elementary is far ahead in every shared metric, and Webster Elementary is generally slightly higher. Unity Elementary and Luck Elementary were mixed, while Siren Elementary trailed Frederic throughout.

Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength at 9.9%, below the district's 18.3% and the state's 17.3%, and improved from 19.5% in 2021–2022 — though Saint Croix Falls Elementary, Webster Elementary, and Luck Elementary have lower rates. Per-student spending is $18,085, higher than Saint Croix Falls Elementary, Webster Elementary, Grantsburg Elementary, and Unity Elementary, yet outcomes are not top-tier. Subgroup effectiveness also weakened: low-income students fell from 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2023–2024 to 32nd percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, and special education students from 84th to 51st percentile. The key takeaway for parents is a school with real strengths in social studies and attendance, but a recent academic downswing worth watching, especially in 4th grade math, 5th grade ELA, and science.
