Summary

Oostburg Elementary is a PK–5 school with 479 students at 203 N Seventh St in Oostburg, Wisconsin — a small lakeshore community near Sheboygan — and it serves as the main elementary school in the Oostburg School District, which ranks 20th of 432 Wisconsin districts. The school currently ranks 130th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), following a decade-long climb from the 68th percentile in 2016–17 to a peak of 94th percentile (5 stars) in 2023–24.

Compared with nearby schools, Oostburg is the clear second-best performer in the region — behind only Kohler Elementary, which serves a far more affluent population — and the strongest school in the group without that advantage. Oostburg's three-grade average is 75.7% proficient in English language arts and 65.7% in math, well above the state, while it spends the least per student of any school in its comparison group ($11,911) and runs the largest classes (student–teacher ratio of 15.8). Its attendance is the standout: chronic absenteeism of 0.7%, held for three straight years, versus 17.3% statewide and 15–31% in Sheboygan Area buildings such as Jefferson Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, and Sheridan Elementary. Science and social studies are quiet strengths, with 4th-grade science at 83.08% — nearly 30 points above the state average.

Two areas are worth watching. Math proficiency has declined three years in a row, from 79.1% to 72.1% to 65.7%, with 5th-grade math falling from 80.88% to 58.97%, while reading has held steady. The school's low-income subgroup has also slipped from the 95th to the 69th percentile. Even so, the long-term picture remains a high-performing school on a strong plateau.
