Summary

Somerset Elementary is a PK–4 school in Somerset, Wisconsin, serving 577 students as part of the Somerset School District. The district ranks 99th of 432 Wisconsin districts (77th percentile, 4 stars), while the school itself ranks 313th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 70th percentile, or 3 stars. That's a big improvement over the late 2010s, when it sat around the 59th–67th percentile, and it peaked at the 88th percentile in 2021–22. Since then it has cooled, settling in the 68th–75th percentile range and landing at 70th in both 2024–25 and 2025–26 — still well above the state median, but no longer climbing.

Achievement is solidly above state averages. In 2025–2026 Somerset beat the Wisconsin average in every reported subject and grade, from 3rd-grade ELA (63.83% vs. 52.08%) to 4th-grade social studies (73.74% vs. 65.51%) and science (64.65% vs. 53.46%). Science and social studies are relative strengths; 4th-grade math is the soft spot, trailing several nearby schools such as River Crest Elementary, Willow River Elementary, North Hudson Elementary, Hudson Prairie Elementary, Houlton Elementary, Saint Croix Central Elementary and New Richmond Paperjack Elementary. Somerset's standout advantage is attendance: chronic absenteeism was just 3.3% in 2024–25 — the lowest of any nearby school and far below the state's 17.3% — after dropping from 10.0% in 2021–22.

Somerset does this with fewer resources than its neighbors. Per-student spending was $13,330 in 2024–25, below every nearby school, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.0 is higher than all of them. The school is especially effective with low-income students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for that group — well above its own 70th-percentile overall mark — and special education students rank in the 71st percentile. Subgroup results do swing from year to year, so it's best to read them as a long-term trend rather than a single-year snapshot.
