of 1,039 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Woodside Elementary is a K–4 school serving 456 students in Sussex, Wisconsin, one of four elementary schools in the Hamilton School District.

Woodside ranks 40th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025-26 — the 96th percentile, or the top 4% of Wisconsin elementaries. That matches its 2018-19 peak after sliding to the 78th percentile in 2022-23, a 200-position gain in three years. Every state-tested subject sits 22–29 points above the state average, and the school lands within half a point of the district average in four of six measures. Within Hamilton, all four elementaries rank in the top 45 statewide, so Woodside's "third of four" placement understates how similar these schools really are: Marcy Elementary (23rd), Lannon Elementary (38th), Woodside (40th) and Maple Avenue Elementary (44th) are separated by just 21 rank positions. Among nearby schools outside the district, Woodside's proficiency profile tops Horizon School, Amy Belle Elementary, Richmond Elementary and Valley View Elementary, while Merton Primary posts higher results overall.

Two other features stand out. Attendance: 3.7% of Woodside students were chronically absent in 2024-25, better than the district (5.9%) and far below the state (17.3%) — and roughly half the rate at Maple Avenue Elementary (7.1%), which serves the same city and district. Subgroup results are also notable: Hispanic students, special education students and low-income students all rank at or above the school's overall standing, with special education students in the 96th–97th percentile three years running. The one soft spot is 4th-grade science, 2.35 points below the district and behind Marcy and Maple Avenue — still 26.9 points above the state. Woodside spends $14,942 per student with a 15.2 student-teacher ratio.
