Summary
Gibraltar Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 265 students in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, and is part of the Gibraltar Area School District. It has been one of Wisconsin's top-performing elementary schools, ranking 22nd of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025–26 (98th percentile, 5 stars), after finishing 16th of 1,044 in 2024–25 and 36th of 1,061 in 2023–24. The district itself ranks 32nd of 432 districts statewide.
Academically, Gibraltar Elementary's results are strong across subjects, not just in one. In 2025–26, every reported Forward Exam score was well above the state average, and six of eight reported scores topped 80% proficiency — including 4th-grade social studies at 91.18 and 4th-grade math at 88.24. That year, Gibraltar outperformed Sevastopol Elementary, its closest peer, in all eight reported subject-and-grade combinations. In 2024–25 the two schools traded the lead, with Sevastopol ahead in several areas, so both are high-performing; the most recent year clearly favors Gibraltar.
Other measures set Gibraltar apart. Chronic absenteeism was 5.0% in 2024–25 — far below Sevastopol Elementary's 10.9%, Marinette Primary's 20.0%, and the state's 17.3%. Per-student spending was $27,627, about 62% more than Sevastopol and more than double Marinette, and the student-to-teacher ratio was 9.6, compared with 12.3 and 20.8. The free/reduced lunch rate is 26.79%. Notably, the school's low-income students ranked in the 99th percentile statewide in 2025–26. Special education is the clearest relative gap: that subgroup ranked 267th of 802 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25, still above the state median. Marinette Primary serves only PK–1, so achievement cannot be compared directly.
