Summary

Owen-Withee Elementary is a PK–5 school in Owen, Wisconsin, serving 221 students in the Owen-Withee School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 614 of 1,039 statewide (41st percentile, 2 stars), above its district’s 15th-percentile, 1-star position. The school has improved from 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, when it ranked in the 25th and 17th percentiles with 1 star, and since 2020–2021 has generally held in the mid-30s to low-40s percentile range with 2 stars. Its 2025–2026 result is its best since 2016–2017 (54th percentile, 3 stars).

Among nearby elementaries, the school is mid-pack. It ranks above Loyal Elementary (25th percentile), Greenwood Elementary (27th), Colby Elementary (21st), and Abbotsford Elementary (10th); similar to Gilman Elementary (43rd) and Thorp Elementary (42nd); and below Spencer Elementary (52nd), Medford Elementary (60th), Stetsonville Elementary (70th), and Stanley Elementary (71st). Its biggest recent success is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell to 6.9% in 2024–2025 from 15.6% in 2023–2024, well below the district rate of 14.1% and the state rate of 17.3%. Still, 6.9% is the highest among these nearby schools, which range from 1.6% at Gilman Elementary to 6.8% at Thorp Elementary.

Test results are mixed. Fourth grade English Language Arts (62.16% vs. 53.87% state) and social studies (67.57% vs. 65.51%) are above state averages, and 3rd grade math (54.17% vs. 54.75%) is close. But 5th grade ELA (44.44% vs. 53.63%), 4th grade math (45.95% vs. 52.87%), 5th grade math (44.44% vs. 51.81%), and 4th grade science (45.95% vs. 53.46%) trail the state. Low-income students have been a relative strength (52nd percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026), while special education students dropped to the 21st percentile, 1 star, from the 51st percentile, 3 stars, the year before. In 2024–2025, 55.2% qualified for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $16,588, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.1—higher spending and smaller ratios than many nearby schools, even as some nearby schools rank higher. Priorities include sustaining attendance, strengthening math and science, and watching special education support.
