Summary

Clarendon Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, serving 532 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mukwonago School District, which is ranked 26th out of 426 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarendon Avenue Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 15% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is significantly higher than the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 79.45% in ELA and 79.45% in Math, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively. The school's strong performance extends across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Clarendon Avenue Elementary performs well within the Mukwonago School District, it also outperforms nearby schools outside the district, such as Eagle Elementary (Palmyra-Eagle Area School District) and Magee Elementary (Kettle Moraine School District). However, the school has seen a recent increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area that warrants further investigation and attention to ensure continued student success.
