Summary

Murray Park Elementary is a grades 3–5 school in Ripon, Wisconsin, serving 156 students as part of the Ripon Area School District, and it currently ranks 339th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 67th percentile — which is above its own district's 56th percentile.

The 2025–26 school year marked a clear turnaround. After two years in the 30s and 40s percentiles, Murray Park climbed back to the 67th percentile, improving in nearly every tested subject and grade. It now scores above the state average in every area tested, averaging roughly 63% proficient compared with about 55% statewide, and it sits close to the district average overall. The largest gains came in 5th-grade English language arts (42.59% to 65.22%), 3rd-grade math (54.39% to 67.37%), and 4th-grade math (51.35% to 64.44%). Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was just 1.3% in 2024–25, far below the district's 4.6% and the state's 17.3%, and the lowest rate among the nearby comparison schools.

One notable point is that nearly half of Murray Park students (46.79%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school outperforms several nearby schools serving lower-poverty populations, including Rock River Intermediate, Markesan Intermediate, and Omro Elementary. Laconia Elementary School and Green Lake Elementary post higher scores but serve lower-poverty populations, and Green Lake spends $21,112 per student versus Murray Park's $15,529. Murray Park's effectiveness ratings for low-income students (82nd percentile) and special education students (74th percentile) are both above its overall rank. With roughly 50 students per grade, year-to-year swings are expected — the key question is whether these gains hold.
