Summary

Forest Edge Elementary School is a 5-star public school in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, serving 446 students in grades PK–6 as part of the Oregon School District. The district ranks 50th of 432 districts statewide (88th percentile), and the school itself ranks 103rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the top 10% in the state. It has held a 5-star rating for three consecutive years, and its statewide percentile climbed from 75th in 2020–2021 to a peak of 94th in 2024–2025 before easing to 90th in 2025–2026.

Achievement is strong across most grades. In 2025–2026, average ELA proficiency in grades 3–6 was about 76%, versus roughly 71% in the district and 54% statewide; average math was about 73%, versus about 71% and 53%. Fifth grade stands out, with ELA at 82.81% and math at 79.69% — well above Winnequah School (59.65% ELA, 57.89% math) and Stoner Prairie Elementary (75.41% ELA, 67.21% math). Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 5.8% in 2024–2025, below the state's 17.3% and lower than every nearby brick-and-mortar school, including Winnequah (15.2%), Stoner Prairie (8.6%) and Leopold Elementary (33.5%). Forest Edge also spends $17,114 per student with a student–teacher ratio of 11.1 — moderate among nearby schools, showing strong results without unusually high spending.

Two areas are worth watching. Third-grade ELA (69.7%) and math (71.21%) fall slightly below district averages, though still above state averages, and sixth-grade math (68.66%) is marginally below district. The clearest equity concern is the low socio-economic status subgroup, which dropped from the 79th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026 as the free/reduced-lunch rate rose from 12.73% to 16.82%. Overall, Forest Edge combines top-decile achievement, very low absenteeism, and relatively low poverty compared with neighbors such as One City Elementary School and most Madison Metropolitan School District schools.
