Summary

Sugar Bush Elementary is a small PK–4 school with 119 students in New London School District in New London, WI. The district ranks 238 of 432 in Wisconsin (45th percentile, 2 stars), while the school ranked 621 of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (40th percentile, 2 stars). Its rank history is volatile: 84th percentile in 2020–2021, 25th in 2023–2024, and 40th in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, 46.22% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, chronic absenteeism was 5.1%, spending was $15,226 per student, and the student–teacher ratio was 14.6.

English language arts and social studies are relative strengths, at or above the state. But math and science trail the district and state, especially 4th-grade math (40% proficient vs 63.71% district and 52.87% state) and 4th-grade science (45% vs 59.68% district and 53.46% state). Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 5.1%, well below the district’s 7.7% and the state’s 17.3%, and down sharply from 16.2% in 2023–2024. Spending rose about 25.6%, from $12,119 per student in 2021–2022 to $15,226 in 2024–2025, while the student–teacher ratio rose to 14.6, the highest among nearby peers. Within the district, Sugar Bush Elementary is the lowest-ranked comparable elementary: Parkview Elementary is 80th percentile with 4 stars, Readfield Elementary is 58th percentile with 3 stars, and Lincoln Elementary is 43rd percentile with 2 stars.

Subgroup results show a large gap between female students (61st percentile) and male students (28th percentile) in 2025–2026—a 33-point difference—while low-income students improved from the 16th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 44th in 2025–2026. Parkview Elementary is the most instructive comparison: similar free/reduced lunch (46.97% vs 46.22%) and chronic absenteeism (5.5% vs 5.1%), yet much higher rank (80th vs 40th percentile) while spending less ($14,665 vs $15,226) and having a lower student–teacher ratio (13.3 vs 14.6). Because Sugar Bush Elementary has only 119 students, one year’s percentages can swing; multi-year trends are more reliable. Overall, the school has strong attendance and improving ELA/social studies and low-income results, but it still needs to strengthen math and science and address the male-student gap.
