Summary

Tigerton Elementary is a public elementary school in Tigerton, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 121 students. The school is part of the Tigerton School District, which is ranked 375 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tigerton Elementary has consistently low academic performance compared to the state average and nearby schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 35% to 55.56% across grades 3-5, while the state average was around 52%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 30% to 55.56%, also below the state average of around 52-55%. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 375 out of 1076 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 676 out of 1044 in 2024-2025. Tigerton Elementary has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.9% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is well above the state average.

Tigerton Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Iola-Scandinavia Elementary, Hatley Elementary, and Clintonville Elementary School, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (53.72% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing to Tigerton Elementary's low academic performance. However, the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather the effective utilization of those resources to address the specific needs of the student population.
