Summary

John Hustis Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 117 students in Hustisford, Wisconsin, part of the Hustisford School District. It ranks 483rd of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–26 (54th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 199th of 432.

The school has a small, well-resourced profile with standout attendance. Its student-teacher ratio of 11.5 is lower than Mayville Elementary, Rossman Elementary, Horicon Elementary School and Webster Elementary, and its per-pupil spending of $16,720 in 2024–25 is higher than most nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 5.8%, well below the 17.3% state rate and lower than every nearby school except Honor Elementary (2.0%); most neighbors sit in the 10–12% range, with Hartford Lincoln at 19.6%. About 35% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — a moderate-poverty level below Horicon, Mayville, Webster, Douglas Elementary and Dodgeland Elementary.

Academically, results are mid-pack and variable. In 2025–26, its reported tests averaged about 57% proficient versus roughly 55% statewide, with strengths in 5th-grade ELA (68.75%), 4th-grade ELA and math (60% each), science (60%) and social studies (66.67%), but weaker 3rd-grade ELA (41.18%) and 5th-grade math (43.75%). The school climbed from the bottom quartile in the late 2010s to the 78th percentile in 2023–24, then slipped to 65th in 2024–25 and 54th in 2025–26; with 117 students, yearly swings can reflect small numbers of students. Special education effectiveness is a standout (90th percentile, 5 stars in 2025–26), and low-SES effectiveness has been strong historically. In 2025–26, male students ranked in the 83rd percentile while female students fell to the 29th — a gap worth watching.
