Summary

New Auburn Elementary is a small PK–5 school serving 132 students in New Auburn, Wisconsin, part of the New Auburn School District. Its most recent state ranking is 781st of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026 (25th percentile, 1 star), down from 536th of 1,044 in 2024–2025 (49th percentile, 2 stars) and far below its 2020–2021 high point of 135th of 1,050 (87th percentile, 4 stars). The district itself ranks 354th of 432 (18th percentile) statewide. Because the school is small, a single grade cohort can swing year-to-year results significantly.

Operationally, the school has several advantages. Chronic absenteeism was 7.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district (9.9%) and well below the state (17.3%), and improved from 13.4% in 2022–2023. Its student-teacher ratio of 11.9 is favorable compared with most nearby schools, and per-student spending of $17,410 is higher than most. One figure stands out as an anomaly: the free/reduced-price lunch rate fell from 47.1% in 2023–2024 to 2.27% in 2024–2025, a drop so large it likely reflects a reporting or eligibility change, so poverty-related comparisons should be read with caution.

Academically, results are mixed. English Language Arts was below the state at every tested grade in 2025–2026 (40% in 3rd, 33.33% in 4th, and 26.32% in 5th, versus state rates in the low 50s), and it has been a persistent weakness for several years. Math is uneven: 4th grade math is a genuine bright spot at 66.67% versus the state's 52.87%, and it has been strong for three straight years, while 3rd grade (40%) and 5th grade (21.05%) math trail the state. Fourth grade social studies (66.67%) was roughly at the state level, while 4th grade science (46.67%) fell below it. Compared with nearby schools, New Auburn's 2025–2026 rank was higher only than Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary and roughly even with Parkview Elementary, trailing Colfax Elementary, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Jim Falls Elementary, Bloomer Elementary, and Cameron Elementary. Female students have generally been served better than male students, and low-socioeconomic-status students performed relatively well in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 before dropping to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026. The bottom line is that New Auburn Elementary has strong attendance, small classes, and solid funding, but its main challenge is turning those favorable conditions into consistent achievement across all grades and student groups.
