Summary

Saint Croix Falls Elementary is a K–4 school with 303 students in Saint Croix Falls, a small community in northwestern Wisconsin, and it is part of the Saint Croix Falls School District. It is one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in the state.

In 2025–2026, the school ranked 33rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 97th percentile, with 5 stars — and it has earned 5-star ratings in most years since 2015–2016. Nearby schools sit in a lower tier: Amery Intermediate ranked 244th, Osceola Intermediate 421st, Luck Elementary 432nd, Unity Elementary 564th, and Frederic Elementary 650th. Saint Croix Falls scored above the state average in every tested subject and grade, including 88.68% in 3rd-grade ELA (state: 52.08%), 80.00% in 4th-grade ELA (53.87%), 81.13% in 3rd-grade math (54.75%), 72.86% in 4th-grade math (52.87%), 95.71% in 4th-grade social studies (65.51%), and 80.00% in 4th-grade science (53.46%). It led the nearby comparison group in five of six areas; the only exception was 3rd-grade math, where Amery Intermediate was slightly higher at 82.89%. The school also outranks schools in higher-ranked districts such as the Amery School District, which is ranked 57th of 432 districts statewide while Saint Croix Falls is 86th.

Results for student groups stand out. Low-income students ranked 4th of 848 schools statewide, special education students 24th of 791, and male students 16th of 989. Chronic absenteeism was just 4.2% in 2024–2025 — lower than every nearby school and well below the state's 17.3% — down from 19.1% in 2021–2022. The school spends $16,578 per student, less than several nearby schools, including Dresser Elementary ($19,327) and Lien Elementary ($19,211). With an 11:1 student-teacher ratio, that pattern suggests strong instruction and student support rather than a spending advantage.
