Summary

College Park Elementary is a K–5 school with 273 students on W College Ave in Greendale, Wisconsin — about two-thirds of a mile from its closest same-district neighbor, Highland View Elementary — and part of the Greendale School District, one of the strongest districts in the state. In 2025–26 it ranked 114th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), and it has stayed in a high band for a decade, peaking at 16th of 1,075 schools (99th percentile) in 2015–16.

The school's strongest results come in the early grades. Third-grade reading (84.6%), third-grade math (89.7%), and fourth-grade math (84.3%) are all 10 to 16 points above the district and more than 30 points above the state. Attendance is a genuine standout: chronic absenteeism is 2.6%, roughly a third of the district's 7.4% and a seventh of the state's 17.3%. Class sizes are the smallest in the comparison group at 11.3 students per teacher, and students from low-income families rank in the 96th percentile statewide — a notable result at a school where 33.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Two areas are worth watching. Fifth-grade math sits at 60% proficient — 28 points below Canterbury Elementary, 16 points below the district, and only about 8 points above the state — and that same group of students fell from 85% in third-grade math to 60% by fifth grade. Science (64.7%) and fourth-grade social studies (74.5%) also trail the district. Special education students slipped from the 76th to the 51st percentile over two years, and female students fell from the 86th to the 73rd. Meanwhile, per-pupil spending has risen 18.7% in three years to $17,965. Overall, College Park remains a 4-star, top-11% school in a top-9% district, though Canterbury now leads among the Greendale elementaries.
