Summary
Shiocton Elementary is a PK–8 school in Shiocton, WI, serving 517 students in the Shiocton School District. For 2025–2026 it ranks 541 of 1,039 (48th percentile, 2 stars), just below the state median and below its district’s 64th-percentile, 3-star standing. Recent rank history shows a decline from 66th percentile in 2021–2022 to 51st in 2024–2025 and 48th now.
Parents may find several structural strengths. Shiocton has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools ($19,371 in 2024–2025) and the lowest student–teacher ratio (11.5:1). Its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was exceptionally low at 1.1%, versus 1.6% for the district and 17.3% statewide; nearby Black Creek Elementary was 12.9%. Shiocton also has a 0.0% dropout rate. Upper-grade results are a genuine bright spot: 6th–8th math proficiency is well above state, and 8th-grade social studies and science are strong. Compared with Black Creek Elementary, Shiocton has much lower absenteeism, higher spending, a lower student–teacher ratio, and stronger 8th-grade ELA, math, social studies, and science. However, Parkview Elementary in the New London School District ranks at the 80th percentile with higher poverty and lower spending, showing that resources alone do not determine outcomes.
The clearest academic concern is early-grade achievement. In 2025–2026, 3rd-grade ELA was 26.92% proficient and 3rd-grade math 30.77%, far below state averages and the lowest among nearby schools reporting grade 3. By 4th grade, Shiocton recovers: ELA 65.08%, math 68.25%, social studies 76.19%, and science 60.32%, all above state. Subgroup performance also weakened recently: several student groups that were 4-star in 2023–2024 are now 2-star. The school’s 48th-percentile overall rank understates upper-grade strengths, but the persistent early-grade gap and recent subgroup decline are the main areas to watch. Spending rose from $13,425 in 2022–2023 to $19,371 in 2024–2025 while rank fell, a contrast worth monitoring.
