Summary

Bannach Elementary is a PK–6 school serving 368 students in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, as part of the Stevens Point Area Public School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 205 of 1039 schools statewide — 80th percentile, 4 stars — while the district overall sat at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. Among same-district elementary peers, Bannach ranks highest: McDill Elementary (67th percentile, 3 stars), Jefferson Elementary (66th, 3 stars), Madison Elementary (60th, 3 stars), and both Roosevelt Elementary and Plover-Whiting Elementary at the 35th percentile with 2 stars.

Test results back that up. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Bannach scored above the district and state in every reported subject and grade — 3rd grade ELA at 76.67% (district 57.73%, state 52.08%), 4th grade social studies at 81.25%, and 4th grade science at 70.83%, among others. Chronic absenteeism is another clear strength: 9.0% in 2024–2025 versus 17.7% for the district and 17.3% for the state, with only McDill Elementary lower at 5.1%. Only in a few spots do nearby schools edge ahead — McDill in 3rd grade math and 4th grade science, Madison in 5th grade ELA and 6th grade math — but Bannach's overall rank stays above them all.

A few things are worth watching. Bannach's 5th grade results (57.69% ELA, 59.62% math) lag its stronger 3rd and 4th grade scores, and its statewide percentile has drifted from 94th in 2021–2022 to 80th now, even though it remains high. Effectiveness for students from low-income families is the school's weakest area — 67th percentile in 2025–2026 versus 80th overall — and special education results have swung widely, from 45th percentile in 2024–2025 to 81st the next year. Notably, Bannach achieves these results with moderate resources: $14,160 per student and a 14.9 student-teacher ratio, both mid-to-low compared with several nearby schools.
