Summary

E Cook Elementary is a K–5 school in the Oshkosh Area School District in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 278 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 828th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 20th percentile, with 1 star — and it has earned 1 star every year since 2015–2016, with its statewide percentile never rising above 29. This is a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year dip.

ELA and math are the school's clearest weaknesses. In 2025–2026, E Cook was below both district and state in every tested grade in both subjects, averaging about 32.4% proficiency in ELA (versus roughly 43.2% district and 53.2% state) and about 35.4% in math (versus roughly 44.3% district and 53.1% state). Social studies and science look stronger: 4th-grade social studies at 56.67% nearly matched the district's 57.81%, and science at 46.67% was only slightly below the district's 48.42%. Attendance is another relative bright spot — chronic absenteeism was 15.4% in 2024–2025, below the district's 16.9% and the state's 17.3%, and down from 19.5% in 2021–2022.

Compared with nearby Oshkosh schools, E Cook sits in the lower tier but not at the bottom. It trails Oakwood Elementary (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Traeger Elementary (77th percentile, 4 stars) by a wide margin, and also trails Lakeside Elementary, Shapiro STEM Academy, Franklin Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, while edging out Oaklawn Elementary, Menominee Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary and Read Elementary. Context matters: 64.39% of E Cook students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — far above Oakwood's 14.66% and Traeger's 26.71%, and closer to Read's 69.45%. Per-student spending was $15,649, mid-to-high among these schools, so funding and class size (13.2) don't appear to explain the gaps.
