Summary

Grant Elementary is a K–6 school at 425 W Upham St in Marshfield, Wisconsin, serving 554 students as part of the Marshfield Unified School District — the largest elementary in its local comparison group, roughly 75% bigger than the next-largest district peer.

Grant remains a solidly above-average Wisconsin school, but it has been slipping relative to its neighbors. Its statewide percentile rank has fallen from 88th in 2020–21 to 61st in 2025–26, including an 11-point drop in the most recent year, and it earned 3 stars for the first time since 2017–18. For the first time in recent years it now ranks below its own district (68th percentile), placing fourth of five district elementaries — behind Nasonville Elementary (82nd percentile), Washington Elementary (75th), and Madison Elementary (71st), though still ahead of Lincoln Elementary (54th).

Two bright spots stand out: 5th-grade math (70.59% proficient) leads the district, and 4th-grade science and social studies have beaten the state every year — though both dipped in 2025–26. The clearest concern is 4th-grade math at 42.68% proficient, 15 points below the district and 10 points below the state, and the lowest among district elementaries. Chronic absenteeism improved to 10.6%, better than the state's 17.3% but above the district's 8.2%. Grant also has the highest student–teacher ratio (15.3) and lowest per-student spending ($13,254) of any nearby school — smaller classes and bigger budgets are common among the higher-ranked local schools.
