Summary

Dunwiddie Elementary is a PK–4 public school at 1243 W Lincoln Ave in Port Washington, WI, serving about 324 students as part of the Port Washington-Saukville School District. In 2025-2026, it ranked 74th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), making it the top-ranked elementary among nearby schools in its district. It has earned 5 stars in most years since 2015-2016, dipped to 4 stars in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, then returned to 5 stars in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. It outperforms Lincoln Elementary and Saukville Elementary even though it serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch.

Academically, Dunwiddie Elementary is strong in math, science, and social studies. In 2025-2026, its Forward Exam proficiency rates exceeded district and state averages in nearly every subject, including 4th Grade Science at 81.36% and 4th Grade Social Studies at 88.14%. English Language Arts was more mixed: 4th Grade ELA was above both district and state averages, while 3rd Grade ELA was above the state but below the district. Compared with nearby high performers such as Parkview Elementary, Westlawn Elementary, Thorson Elementary, Oriole Lane Elementary, and Kennedy Elementary, Dunwiddie Elementary is not the absolute top in ELA or math, but it is competitive or stronger in science and social studies. Chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2024-2025—better than the district and far better than the state, though higher than most top nearby schools, including Lincoln Elementary, Woodview Elementary, and Saukville Elementary.

Dunwiddie Elementary also stands out for how it uses resources. It spends $14,906 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, the second-lowest among the comparison group, while serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students than many nearby schools. Its performance with low-income and special education students has been strong, though with some year-to-year movement. Overall, Dunwiddie Elementary is a consistently high-performing, high-value school. The main opportunities for parents and staff to watch are strengthening 3rd Grade ELA outcomes and reducing chronic absenteeism to match the very top nearby districts, while maintaining its strong science, social studies, math, and subgroup results.
