Summary

Thorp Elementary is a PK–8 school serving 321 students in the small community of Thorp, Wisconsin, and it is the only school in its nearby comparison group that includes middle grades, which means it reports 6th-, 7th- and 8th-grade results that most neighboring elementary schools do not. It is part of the Thorp School District, which ranks at the 24th percentile statewide with 1 star, while the school itself ranks higher — 42nd percentile with 2 stars among 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026.

That overall rank represents a recent slide. Thorp Elementary was in the 80th percentile in 2022–2023 and the 74th percentile in 2023–2024, then fell to the 44th percentile in 2024–2025 and 42nd in 2025–2026. Its 2025–2026 test results are uneven rather than weak across the board. Social studies is the clearest strength, with 4th grade at 74.07% (state: 65.51%) and 8th grade at 73.81% (state: 64.63%). Sixth-grade math is very strong at 72.97% (state: 53.60%), and 8th-grade science is strong at 61.90% (state: 51.86%). The trouble spots are concentrated: 5th-grade ELA at 28.21% (state: 53.63%), 7th-grade ELA and math both at 25.00%, 8th-grade math at 35.71% (state: 53.67%), and 4th-grade math and science both at 44.44%.

Operationally, the school stands out for attendance: chronic absenteeism was 6.8% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin’s 17.3% and lower than Cadott Elementary (9.2%), even though 53.89% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Its strongest comparative signal is with low-income students, where it ranked in the 74th percentile with 4 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — well above its overall 42nd percentile. Among nearby schools, Thorp trails Cadott Elementary (83rd percentile) and Stanley Elementary (71st), is close to Gilman Elementary (43rd) and Owen-Withee Elementary (41st), and is ahead of Greenwood Elementary (27th).
