Summary

Stetsonville Elementary is a PK–4 school in Stetsonville, WI, serving 203 students as part of the Medford Area Public School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 308th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (70th percentile, 4 stars), placing it above its district average. After a 2-star, 49th-percentile year in 2020–2021, the school has returned to 3–4 star territory, including 80th percentile in 2024–2025.

Academically, Stetsonville is above the state in all six tested areas. It outperforms its larger same-district peer Medford Elementary in five of six common areas—ELA 4, Math 3, Math 4, Social Studies 4, and Science 4—with Medford Elementary only slightly higher in ELA 3. Science is a standout: 4th grade proficiency is 76.19%, the highest among nearby schools, including Rib Lake Elementary. Math 3 is 70%, 15.25 points above the state. ELA is solid but less dominant; ELA 4 is 61.9%, above the state but slightly below the district and Rib Lake Elementary. Overall, Rib Lake Elementary is the main nearby academic benchmark, but Stetsonville edges it in 4th grade science.

Chronic absenteeism is very low at 5.4% in 2024–2025, far below the state’s 17.3% and the district’s 14.7%. The school also stands out for how well it serves specific groups: low-socioeconomic-status students ranked in the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, and special education students jumped to the 89th percentile with 4 stars, up from the 23rd percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024. Stetsonville spends $12,379 per pupil—similar to Medford Elementary and Rib Lake Elementary but far less than several nearby districts—yet generally achieves higher proficiency. Areas to watch are modest: grade 3 ELA trails the district slightly. Overall, this is a solid, improving, cost-effective school with strong subgroup results and low absenteeism.
