Summary

Drought Elementary is a very small public PK–8 school in rural Franksville, Wisconsin, serving 109 students — roughly a dozen per grade — and it operates as the only school in the Norway J7 School District. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 152nd out of 1,039 Wisconsin schools, the 85th percentile (top 15% statewide) and its best result in the ten years shown, up from the 60th percentile in 2023–2024. Its district ranks 42nd of 432 districts statewide, placing it in the top decile.

Reading and writing are this school's clear strength. Across grades 3–7, about 79.5% of students scored proficient in English language arts, compared with roughly 54% statewide, and grade-4 social studies reached 93.33% — the highest result among the ten nearby schools used for comparison. Math and science are more uneven: grade-4 math (60%) and grade-4 science (53.33%) trail the peer averages, with science essentially matching the state. Among nearby small PK–8 schools, North Cape Elementary has slid from the 93rd percentile to the 60th, while Raymond Elementary has been flat to soft — making Drought the momentum leader in its immediate area.

Two things are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 10.9%, well below Wisconsin's 17.3% but the highest in the local group and above the peer average of about 6.4%; nearby Raymond Elementary reports 2.2%. Spending is $14,298 per pupil, slightly below the peer median, while the school has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio in the region at 10.7. Because each grade has only about a dozen students, one or two children can move a grade-level percentage by several points, so multi-year trends are the more reliable guide than any single year's number.
