Summary

Shapiro STEM Academy is a PK–5 elementary school in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 204 students as part of the Oshkosh Area School District. For 2025–2026, Shapiro STEM Academy ranked 773 of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 26th percentile, or 1 star — which is slightly better than the district average but still in the bottom third of the state. It was once a 2-star school in the 32nd–42nd percentile range, and has settled into 1-star territory in the low-to-mid 20s over the past four years, with a slight uptick in 2025–2026.

Achievement results are mixed. Fifth grade is the standout: ELA proficiency of 54.17 is above both district and state, and math at 45.83 is above the district. Fourth grade social studies (58.62) is above the district average and has improved three years running. But fourth grade science (34.48) is far below the district's 48.42 and the state's 53.46, and third grade ELA (29.41) trails both. Averaging the school's eight exam rows gives roughly 42.4% proficient, below the district's 46.1% and the state's 54.7%. A real bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 10.1% is well below the district (16.9%) and state (17.3%).

Among 11 nearby Oshkosh elementary schools, Shapiro STEM Academy ranks about fourth by percentile. It is nearly identical to Franklin Elementary in proficiency and rank, and ahead of Menominee Elementary School, Oaklawn Elementary, E Cook Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary and Read Elementary, which serve higher-poverty populations with higher absenteeism. It trails Oakwood Elementary and Traeger Elementary by a wide margin. One notable 2025–2026 finding: the school's effectiveness percentile was 54 for male students and 15 for female students, a 39-point gap much wider than in prior years. Because Shapiro is small, single-year grade and subgroup results swing widely, so multi-year trends are more meaningful than any one year.
