Summary

Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District, located in Ontario, Wisconsin. The school has 330 students and is part of a district ranked 208 out of 426 in the state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranking anywhere from 287th to 741st out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam have been mixed, sometimes outperforming the state average in certain grade levels for English Language Arts and Math, but also falling below the state average in other years. Compared to nearby schools, Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton generally performs better than Southside Early Learning Center and Miller Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Westby Elementary, Tomah Area Montessori School, and Cashton Elementary.

The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students, and Hispanic and White students having lower proficiency rates compared to the state. Additionally, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and low-income students at Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary have struggled, with the school's ranking for these subgroups declining in recent years. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average and most nearby schools. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively small class sizes and stable per-student funding suggest it may have the resources to implement targeted interventions and support for struggling students.
