Summary

Glenwood City Elementary is a PK–5 school in rural Glenwood City, WI, serving 307 students as part of the Glenwood City School District, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 559th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), near the state median after a long decline and a recent rebound from 25th percentile in 2024–2025.

Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism fell to 2.7% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 8.3% and Wisconsin’s 17.3%. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade math was 74.29% (state 54.75%) and 3rd grade ELA 61.11% (state 52.08%), while 4th grade science (63.46%) and social studies (69.23%) also beat state averages. However, 4th grade ELA (38.46%), 5th grade ELA (48.57%), 4th grade math (44.23%), and 5th grade math (42.86%) were below state averages. The rebound was uneven—3rd grade and science made big gains, while 4th grade ELA barely moved.

Among nearby schools, the school is mid-pack: Spring Valley Elementary, Greenfield Elementary, Knapp Elementary, Tiffany Creek Elementary, and Oaklawn Elementary ranked ahead, while Prairie Farm Elementary, Gaylord A Nelson Educational Center, Wakanda Elementary, River Heights Elementary, and Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary ranked behind. Spring Valley Elementary is a useful benchmark: similar enrollment (317 vs. 307) and absenteeism (2.6% vs. 2.7%) but stronger test scores. Tiffany Creek Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (48.01% vs. 42.35%) yet ranks higher overall, suggesting school practices matter. The school spends $13,212 per student and has a 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, leaner than most nearby peers.
