Summary

McDill Elementary is a PK–6 neighborhood school serving about 360 students in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, within the Stevens Point Area Public School District. It currently ranks 345th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 67th percentile, 3 stars — which places it well above its own district's 51st-percentile standing. The school's statewide rank slid from the 86th percentile in 2016–2017 down to the low 60s, but it has been essentially flat for four years and edged back up to 67th in 2025–2026. Among the nine same-district elementary schools compared here, only Bannach Elementary ranks higher.

McDill's standout metric is attendance: a 5.1% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024–2025, the lowest of every comparison school and roughly one-third of both the district (17.7%) and state (17.3%) averages, and it has improved three years running. Academically, this is a math-and-science school. Math proficiency averages about 65 across tested grades, roughly 11–12 points above the district and state, and 3rd grade math (80.85% proficient) is the highest in the comparison group. Fourth grade science (72.5%) and social studies (77.5%) also beat district and state. English language arts averages about 58 — at the district level and only modestly above the state.

The clear weak spot is 5th grade English language arts, which moved from 70.59% to 50.0% to 47.37% over three years and now trails both the district and the state — the metric most worth watching. McDill's recent gains are concentrated among students who often trail: special education students rank at the 87th percentile and English language learners at the 86th, with low-income students rising from the 34th to the 62nd percentile in two years. McDill also spends the least per student in its comparison set ($13,802), yet outranks schools spending thousands more. Because each grade holds only about 40–60 students, single-year swings can reflect just a few children, so multi-year averages are the safer guide.
