Summary
Fairview Elementary is a small public elementary school at 2840 Highway 32 in Krakow, Wisconsin, serving 99 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Pulaski Community School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 425th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), its best showing in the past decade and an improvement from 46th percentile the year before. It still trails its district, which ranks 108th of 432 districts statewide (75th percentile, 4 stars).
Fairview's most distinctive features are its size and resources. It is much smaller than the other elementary schools compared here, which enroll between 266 and 519 students. Its student-teacher ratio of 7.9 is the lowest among them (peers range from 10.7 to 15.5), and its per-student spending of $22,605 is the highest by a wide margin — nearby schools spend $13,478 to $17,066. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 6.5%, versus 11.4% district-wide and 17.3% statewide, and only a few nearby schools do better. About 23.23% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a moderate rate for the area.
Academically, results are mixed and uneven by grade. Averaged across eight reported tests, roughly 62.2% of Fairview students scored proficient — above the state's roughly 54.7% but below the district's roughly 66.4%. Third grade is a standout (87.5% in English language arts, 75% in math), fourth grade is the weak spot (45.45% in both), and fifth grade is above state but below district. Because the school is so small, one class can swing results sharply from year to year. Among neighbors, Fairview outranks Glenbrook Elementary, Oconto Falls Elementary, Bonduel Elementary, and Gillett Elementary, but trails Lannoye Elementary, Sunnyside Elementary, Bay Harbor Elementary, Forest Glen Elementary, Suamico Elementary, and Abrams Elementary. In short: excellent attendance, high spending, and real recent improvement, with work remaining to stabilize achievement across all grades.
