Summary

Knapp Elementary is a small PK–5 school serving 91 students in Knapp, WI, part of the Menomonie Area School District. It is the smallest Menomonie Area elementary in this comparison, and it ranks 367th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–26 (65th percentile, 3 stars), well above its district’s overall 47th percentile, 2-star standing. The school has improved a lot over time: from the 20th percentile in 2018–19 to 78th in 2023–24, settling at 65th in both 2024–25 and 2025–26.

Academically, Knapp Elementary’s 2025–26 Forward Exam results are strong. It beats the district in 7 of 8 reported subject/grade metrics and the state in 6 of 8. Standouts include 3rd-grade ELA at 80% proficient, 5th-grade math at 71.43%, social studies at 75%, and science at 65%. The clearest soft spot is 5th-grade ELA at 50%, slightly below district and state. Among same-district peers, Knapp Elementary generally leads Oaklawn Elementary, River Heights Elementary, and Wakanda Elementary, though Oaklawn Elementary is competitive in 4th-grade math and 5th-grade ELA. In the wider area, Spring Valley Elementary, Greenfield Elementary, and Elmwood Elementary often post equal or higher results, so Knapp Elementary is upper-tier but not the absolute top. Its 3rd-grade ELA score of 80 is the highest among nearby schools reporting it.

Knapp Elementary’s context is distinctive: a low student–teacher ratio of 9.2, mid-high per-pupil spending of $14,961 in 2024–25, and a 34.07% free/reduced-lunch rate. Chronic absenteeism was 11.0% in 2024–25—better than the district’s 15.3% and the state’s 17.3%, but up sharply from 4.4% in 2023–24, and higher than nearby Spring Valley Elementary 2.6%, Glenwood City Elementary 2.7%, and Elmwood Elementary 3.7%. Subgroup effectiveness has been strong for female and low-SES students; male-student performance has been more variable but improved recently. Because the school is small, grade-level percentages are based on very small cohorts, so single-year swings should be read with caution.
