Summary

Random Lake Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 292 students in the small community of Random Lake, WI, and is part of the Random Lake School District. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 769th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 26th percentile — with a 1-star rating, and its district placed 373rd of 432 districts statewide, or the 14th percentile.

Academically, the school sits below every nearby elementary school in its comparison set, from Horizon Elementary at the 53rd percentile to Cedar Grove-Belgium Elementary at the 78th, Oostburg Elementary at the 87th, and Farmington Elementary at the 97th. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, proficiency fell below state averages in most grades and subjects. The clear bright spot was 4th grade math, where 60% of students were proficient, above the state's 52.87%. The weakest results were 3rd grade ELA (37.5%), 5th grade ELA and math (both 30.77%), 4th grade science (40%), and 4th grade social studies (56.67%).

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 3.7% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 17.3% and lower than most nearby schools. Poverty is higher here than at most neighbors — 35.27% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch — yet schools with similar poverty levels, such as Horizon Elementary (35.92%) and Dunwiddie Elementary (32.72%, 93rd percentile), achieve much more. Per-student spending of $13,053 and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio are mid-range and do not obviously explain the gap. The school has also declined over time, from the 70th percentile in 2017–2018 to the mid-20s today, and no subgroup currently ranks above the 50th percentile.

Open Quote The teachers that my children have had has been excellent. They call or email me when something happens right away before my kids come home and tell me so I am prepared to talk to them about it . They go up and Beyond to make sure that they are ready for the next year. They work with me if I am seeing that my children are having a hard time with something to make sure I can help them at home. The principal is always there to talk to you and make sure that your needs are met she is fantastic. My kids always love going to school in the morning! Close Quote
