Summary

Endeavor Elementary is a small village school in Endeavor, Wisconsin (Columbia County) serving 57 students in grades K–5 — roughly 9–10 per grade — as part of the Portage Community School District. It is the smallest school in its comparison group and about one-eighth the size of the district's largest elementary, Muir Elementary (439 students); its nearest same-district peers are Lewiston Elementary (9.3 miles), Muir Elementary (10.3 miles) and Woodridge Elementary (10.5 miles).

The headline for parents: Endeavor substantially outperforms its own district. In 2025-26 it ranked 270th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (74th percentile, 4 stars), while the district ranked 244th of 432 districts (44th percentile, 2 stars). Among ranked same-district elementaries, Endeavor leads clearly (Lewiston 68th percentile; Muir 31st). The school has now spent six consecutive reported years in the top quartile after starting in the bottom third a decade ago. Math is the standout: 85.71% in grade 3, 69.23% in grade 4 and 100% in grade 5, ahead of state figures and of nearby schools such as Spring Hill Elementary and Pardeeville Elementary. Chronic absenteeism was 12.5% in 2024-25, versus 20.4% district-wide and 17.3% statewide, and per-pupil spending rose about 26% in three years to $17,414.

Two things to weigh. Grade 4 is the soft spot — ELA came in at 46.15%, below the state and below Lewiston Elementary, Spring Hill Elementary, Pardeeville Elementary and Forest Lane Community School, while grades 3 and 5 each hit 85.71%. There is also a wide internal gap between subgroups (male students 89th percentile, female students 23rd percentile), worth asking about, though small cohorts make it cautious reading. With about 57 students, single-year figures and free/reduced-lunch swings can be noisy; the durable signal is six straight top-quartile years at roughly half the district's chronic-absenteeism rate, ahead of every school nearby.
