Summary

North Crawford Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, with a total enrollment of 290 students. The school is part of the North Crawford School District, which is ranked 344 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Crawford Elementary has shown mixed performance on the Forward Exam, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others are below. For example, in 2024-2025, 5th-grade students performed significantly better than the state average in English Language Arts (68.75% vs. 51.26%) and Mathematics (65.63% vs. 52.58%). However, 6th and 8th-grade students struggled in Mathematics, with only 25.93% and 26.09% proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state average of 52.98% and 53.06%. The school's performance on the Forward Exam has fluctuated over the years, with its ranking among Wisconsin elementary schools ranging from 370 (2023-2024) to 747 (2021-2022).

Nearby schools, such as Wauzeka Elementary and Viroqua Area Montessori School, have generally outperformed North Crawford Elementary on the Forward Exam, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Wauzeka Elementary, for example, has consistently higher proficiency rates in these subjects, with 78.95% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 78.95% in Mathematics in 2024-2025. Viroqua Area Montessori School, a public charter school, has also demonstrated strong academic performance, with several grade levels achieving 100% proficiency in certain subjects. While North Crawford Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, the school's performance does not seem to be commensurate with its spending, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's mixed academic outcomes.
