Summary

Carollton Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 376 students in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, part of the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, and it stands out as one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state: for 2025–2026 it ranks 108th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile with 4 stars, well above the district's 3-star rating (148th of 432 districts). Its state percentile has climbed steadily from 76 in 2022–2023 to 84 in 2024–2025 and 90 in 2025–2026.

Among same-district elementary schools, Carollton Elementary holds the highest 2025–2026 rank — ahead of Meadowview Elementary, Deerfield Elementary, Edgewood Elementary, and Shepard Hills Elementary — and generally outperforms nearby schools in other districts too. Its strongest results come in 3rd- and 4th-grade math and English language arts; 4th-grade social studies (91.67%) and science (81.67%) are the highest among all nearby schools. The clearest soft spot is 5th-grade math at 52.94%, only slightly above district and state averages and below several neighbors, though the school's very high 3rd- and 4th-grade math scores suggest a grade-level rather than school-wide issue. Chronic absenteeism is a major strength: 6.8% in 2024–2025, down from 10.8% in 2021–2022, compared with 14.0% for the district and 17.3% statewide.

Subgroup effectiveness measures are strong for several populations, including 94th percentile (5 stars) for low socio-economic status students and 96th percentile (5 stars) for Hispanic students. Special education students rank 481st of 791 (39th percentile, 2 stars), the most notable gap to monitor. Carollton spends $13,379 per student, less than every nearby school outside its own district, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.3 is higher than most of those schools, yet its proficiency results are stronger — pointing to effective school-level practices. Overall, this is a top-decile, improving school with low absenteeism, where 5th-grade math and special education effectiveness are the areas to watch.
