Eagles' Wings Public Montessori Charter

Eagles' Wings Public Montessori Charter is a small PK–6 charter school with 89 students in Solon Springs, Wisconsin, part of the Solon Springs School District. In 2025-26 the school ranked 648th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (38th percentile, 2 stars) — an improvement from 2023-24, when it placed 844th of 1,061 (20th percentile, 1 star), though still below its 2020-21 peak of 448th of 1,050 (57th percentile, 3 stars). It clearly outperforms its own district, which sits at the 14th percentile (1 star), a notable positive gap for families weighing the area.

Among nearby schools, Eagles' Wings lands in the middle: in 2025-26, Four Corners Elementary ranked at the 69th percentile (3 stars) and Northwestern Elementary at the 55th percentile (3 stars), while Northwood Elementary was at the 19th percentile (1 star). NorthStar Community Charter School has only older data (28th percentile in 2022-23). Eagles' Wings also serves grade 6 while most neighbors stop at grade 5, so some grade-level comparisons are imperfect. The school is the most resource-intensive in the group: $19,125 per student in 2024-25, the highest of the comparison schools, and a 9.3 student-teacher ratio, the lowest. About 42.7% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In 2025-26, English language arts averaged about 53.8% proficient across grades 3–6 — essentially at the state average (about 53.6%) and well above the district's roughly 38.7% — with 4th and 5th grade above state but 3rd and 6th below. Math is the clearest weakness: every grade 3–6 fell below state, averaging about 31.4% versus about 53.3% statewide. Fourth grade science (69.23%) and social studies (76.92%) were the highest among the nearby schools. Two concerns stand out: chronic absenteeism jumped to 22.5% in 2024-25 (from 0.0% in 2023-24, and above the state's 17.3%), and female students and low-SES students each ranked at the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2024-25, down sharply from 2020-21.
