Summary

Etude Elementary is a small PK–5 school serving about 190 students at 3508 N 21st St in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, as part of the Sheboygan Area School District.

Etude's story is its climb. Ten years ago it ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools; today it sits in the top quarter, having gained roughly 55 percentile points, and it has held a 4-star rating for two straight years — all inside a district rated 1 star and ranked 343rd of 432 statewide. On 2025–26 state tests, Etude averaged about 65.5% proficient in English/language arts and 62% in math across grades 3–5, roughly 12 and 9 points above the state and about 20 points above its own district. It is the rare school near the top in both subjects at once: Lincoln-Erdman Elementary is stronger in math and Lake Country Academy - Charter slightly stronger in reading, but neither matches Etude's balance. Fourth-grade science is a standout, beating the state by 15 points. Chronic absenteeism (14.1%) is below both district and state.

What makes the results notable is the price. Etude spends about $11,486 per student — roughly 30% less than the average of its nearby peers — and has the highest student–teacher ratio in its comparison group. About 51.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 38% three years ago. Two cautions for families: fourth-grade math (47.37%) is the one tested area landing below both district and state, and while every student group still performs above the statewide median, results for low-income students and students with disabilities moved down in the latest year. With only about 30–40 students per grade, single-year swings are noisy; the long-term trend is the better guide. Curiously, Pigeon River Elementary shares Etude's street address yet ranks 467 places lower.
