Summary

Hatley Elementary is a public elementary school serving 141 students in grades PK-5 in the D C Everest Area School District in Hatley, Wisconsin. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 5 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in 2014-2015 to a low of 1 out of 5 stars in 2023-2024.

Hatley Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While the school performs well in certain grade levels and subjects, such as 5th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Mathematics, it struggles in other areas, particularly with lower socioeconomic status students. In 2024-2025, Hatley Elementary's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 25%, compared to the district's 57.25% and the state's 52.14%. However, the school's 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 59.09%, higher than the district and state. Additionally, Hatley Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Hatley Elementary to other schools in the D C Everest Area School District, it becomes evident that the school's performance is mixed. While Hatley Elementary excels in certain areas, such as 5th grade English Language Arts, it lags behind its peers, like Riverside Elementary, in other subjects and grade levels. The high percentage of low socioeconomic status students at Hatley Elementary appears to be a significant factor in the school's academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these students.
