Summary

Niagara Elementary is a PK–6 school in Niagara, WI, serving 271 students as part of Niagara School District. In 2025–26, it ranked 463 out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools—55th percentile, 3 stars—while its district ranked 245 out of 432 (43rd percentile, 2 stars), so the school is performing above its district’s overall level. Among nearby schools, it is larger and higher-ranked than Florence Elementary (197 students, 44th percentile, 2 stars) and Pembine Elementary (139 students, 35th percentile, 2 stars). It has earned 3 stars in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, and improved from 27th percentile, 1 star in 2015–16. This makes it the strongest recent performer among the three.

Attendance is a strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 22.2% in 2021–22 to 7.3% in 2024–25, well below Wisconsin’s 17.3% and lower than the district’s 9.0%, though slightly higher than Florence (5.7%) and Pembine (6.4%). Academics vary by grade. In 2025–26, 4th grade led nearby schools in ELA (77.42), math (67.74), and social studies (83.87), and 5th grade led in ELA (57.58) and math (54.55), both above state. But 6th grade lagged: ELA 44.12 and math 29.41, versus state 54.95 and 53.60. Sixth-grade math has been below state for three years, so it’s the main academic watch point.

Subgroup results are uneven: special education and low-income (low-SES) students show relatively strong performance in the 68th–73rd percentile range in 2025–26. Niagara also appears cost-effective: it spends $13,551 per student, about $5,000 less than Florence ($18,778) and Pembine ($18,582), and has a higher student-teacher ratio (14.0 vs. 9.8 and 11.4), yet ranks higher than both nearby schools. Overall, Niagara is an above-average, recently improving school with strong attendance and 4th/5th grade results, but parents should watch 6th grade—especially math—and uneven subgroup outcomes.
