Summary

Sharon Community is a PK–8 elementary/middle school in Sharon, WI, a small community in southeastern Wisconsin, serving 197 students as part of the Sharon J11 School District. It ranks 390 of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26 — a major turnaround from 2018–19, when it sat in the bottom quartile at 20th percentile, 1 star. A dip to 48th percentile in 2024–25 shows the climb hasn't been a straight line. About 58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, so this is a relatively high-need population.

English language arts is a real strength: in 2025–26 Sharon scored above the state in every tested grade, with grade 4 ELA at 82.35%, the highest among nearby schools with comparable data. Grade 4 math (88.24%) and grade 8 math, ELA, social studies, and science were also strong. Math is uneven, though, and grade 5 is the clear red flag — just 16.67% proficiency versus roughly 52% statewide, the lowest nearby. Because that same grade scored 66.67% in ELA, the issue looks math-specific. Grade 4 science (41.18%) also fell below the state's 53.46%.

Chronic absenteeism was only 1.1% in 2024–25, far below Wisconsin's 17.3% and better than every nearby school — though it was 20.2% the year before, so it's worth watching. The standout equity result is the school's low-income students: 91st percentile, 5 stars in 2025–26, higher than the school's overall rank. Sharon spends $17,280 per student with an 11.5 student/teacher ratio. It trails higher-ranked neighbors such as Reek Elementary and West Side Elementary, but leads Walworth Elementary, Clinton Elementary, and Darien Elementary. Fontana Elementary enrolls the same 197 students and ranks similarly (59th percentile) but serves a much lower-poverty population (17.77%) while spending more; Traver Elementary has similar poverty (56%) yet ranks 32nd percentile despite spending $27,340 per student.
