Summary

Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary is a PK–6 school in Ontario, WI, serving 322 students — the largest enrollment and widest grade span among the nearby schools compared here, most of which end at PK–5 or earlier. About 59.01% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, the second-highest rate among those schools, and per-student spending was $16,124 with an 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio. Its district, the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District, ranked 263rd of 432 statewide (39th percentile, 2 stars), while the school ranked 652nd of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (37th percentile, 2 stars) — up from 741st the previous year but well below its 2022–2023 peak of 287th (73rd percentile, 4 stars).

Attendance is the standout strength. Chronic absenteeism was 5.6% in 2024–2025 — far below the district's 6.6% and the state's 17.3% — and it has stayed low for five straight years. Nearby, only Hillsboro Elementary (2.0%), La Farge Elementary (2.9%), Cashton Elementary (3.2%), and Royall Elementary (5.2%) were lower, while Lemonweir Elementary (28.6%) and Miller Elementary (24.2%) were far higher. Academics are mixed: fourth-grade social studies (75% proficient vs. 65.51% statewide) and third-grade ELA (54.84% vs. 52.08%) beat the state, but math trailed state averages in every tested grade, most sharply in fifth grade (33.33% vs. 51.81%), and fourth-grade science (47.92% vs. 53.46%) was also below.

Among student groups, the school's special education students ranked at the 70th percentile in 2025–2026 — above the school's 37th-percentile overall rank and an improvement from 51st the year before — while low-income students ranked at the 32nd percentile. Compared with neighbors, it trails Westby Elementary, Hillsboro Elementary, Cashton Elementary, and Tomah Area Montessori School in math and science, but generally does better than Lemonweir Elementary, Miller Elementary, and Kickapoo Valley Forest School in attendance and often in reading. The bottom line: a strong attendance culture and bright spots in social studies and early reading, with math and science the clearest areas for growth.
