Summary

Suring Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Suring, Wisconsin, with 206 students enrolled. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics ranged from 15.79% to 47.83%, compared to the state averages of 51.26% to 55%.

Suring Elementary's performance is also lower than nearby schools, such as Bonduel Elementary, Lena Elementary, and Oconto Falls Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in most subject areas. The school has also experienced relatively high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, which may contribute to its low academic performance.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment. Suring Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 689 out of 1,050 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 916 out of 1,044 schools in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school may need to implement significant changes and learn from the successful practices of higher-performing nearby schools to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, August 11, 2010

If you have a child who is average, this school will be fine for your family. However, if you have a child who is above average or below average in any subject, Suring is not a school where your child will receive the best possible education for their abilities.

Suring is a very small school. If your child has problems with 1 teacher, there are no other options. He/She is stuck with that teacher, possibly for many years. Close Quote
