Summary

Janssen Elementary is a public elementary school located in Combined Locks, Wisconsin, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 375 students. It is part of the Kimberly Area School District, which is ranked 47th out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Janssen Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. In the 2024-2025 school year, Janssen Elementary's 3rd and 4th-grade students outperformed the state and district averages in all subject areas tested. However, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status students have struggled, with their performance ranking in the bottom 50% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Additionally, Janssen Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2020-2021 to 19.5% in 2022-2023.

Janssen Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Westside Elementary and Haen Elementary, which are also part of the Kimberly Area School District. However, the nearby Sunrise Elementary and Park Community Charter School, both within the same district, outperform Janssen Elementary in several academic areas. The school's struggles with special education and low socioeconomic status students suggest that Janssen Elementary may need to focus on addressing equity and achievement gaps within the student population.
