Summary

Weston Elementary is a PK–5 school in Weston, WI, a community in the Wausau area, serving 519 students as part of the D C Everest Area School District. It is the largest elementary school among its nearby peers. The district ranks 210 of 432 in Wisconsin (51st percentile, 3 stars), while Weston Elementary currently ranks 595 of 1,039 for 2025–2026 — the 43rd percentile, 2 stars. The school improved from the low 20s–30s percentiles in the late 2010s, peaked at 59th percentile / 3 stars in 2023–2024, then slipped to 47th and now 43rd percentile. About 58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — the highest rate among its D.C. Everest elementary peers — and per-student spending is $14,358, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9. Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength at 7.7%, well below the district's 10.9% and the state's 17.3%.

Academically, English Language Arts is the weakest area: all three tested grades fall below both district and state, and it is the lowest ELA proficiency among same-district peers. Third-grade ELA dropped from 57.69% in 2023–24 to 46.91% and then 41.38%; fourth-grade ELA fell from 60.61% to 35.37%. Math is more mixed — third grade is below district but near state, fourth grade is below district but above state, and fifth-grade math is a real strength at 71.83%, beating the district's 66.91% and the state's 51.81%. Among D.C. Everest elementaries, Riverside Elementary (95th percentile), Mountain Bay Elementary (72nd), Evergreen Elementary (63rd), Odyssey Elementary (62nd) and Rothschild Elementary (54th) all rank higher, but Weston serves a notably more disadvantaged population than most of them.

One of the most encouraging findings is subgroup performance: English learners rank in the 67th percentile, special education students in the 62nd, and low-SES students in the 59th — all above the school's overall 43rd percentile. Compared with other nearby high-poverty schools in the Wausau School District such as G D Jones Elementary, Franklin Elementary and John Marshall Elementary, Weston generally posts stronger math and comparable or better ELA results. In short: strong attendance, impressive fifth-grade math, and solid results for disadvantaged students, with ELA recovery and fourth-grade science and social studies as the areas to watch.
