Summary

Ronald Reagan Elementary is a PK–6 school at 4225 S Calhoun Rd in New Berlin, Wisconsin, serving 669 students — the largest of the city's four elementary schools — as part of the New Berlin School District, which ranks 29th of 432 districts statewide.

Its fundamentals are excellent. Chronic absenteeism was 1.2% in 2024-25, far below the district's 3.2% and the state's 17.3%, and the lowest of any nearby school in this comparison. Poverty is also the lowest in that group, with 9.57% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, down from 11.79% in earlier years. The school gets those results on the leanest budget of any comparison school — $13,980 per student, about $2,700 less than Mill Valley Elementary — while running the largest classes, at a 16.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Proficiency in every tested subject and grade sits 12 to 24 points above the state average.

The caution is real, though. In 2025-26 the school earned its first 4-star rating in ten ranked years, landing at the 89th percentile — its lowest mark on record — and it dropped from first to third among New Berlin's elementaries, passed by Elmwood Elementary (#62) and Poplar Creek Elementary (#75). It now trails its own district in 8 of 10 subjects, after finishing 7 points ahead the year before. Upper-grade math shows the sharpest erosion: the current 5th grade fell 28 points in math since 3rd grade, to 63.86. Low-income students remain the school's persistent internal gap, at the 75th–79th percentile. One year is not yet a trend, but the breadth of the decline is worth watching.
