Summary

Evergreen Elementary is a 310-student school serving grades 4 and 5 in Waterford, Wisconsin, and is the upper-elementary building of the Waterford Graded J1 School District, which spreads its elementary grades across three buildings. In 2025-26 it ranked 257th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 75th percentile, 4 stars. The defining story is a long slide: Evergreen Elementary was a 5-star, 95th-percentile school in 2015-16 and drifted downward across the decade, bottoming at 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2024-25 before rebounding to 75th percentile the next year, recovering roughly half of that drop.

Academically, five of six tested measures sit above the state average. Fourth-grade math leads at 72.85% proficient (state 52.87%), with fourth-grade social studies, science, and fifth-grade math also well ahead. The single soft spot is fifth-grade English language arts at 51.64% versus the state's 53.63% — notable because those same students exceeded the state in ELA the year before, suggesting a targeted instructional issue rather than a broad one. Chronic absenteeism is a qualified strength at 9.7% versus a 17.3% state rate, though it has crept up for two straight years and most nearby schools run lower. Per-student spending is $15,003 (2024-25), up 9.2% since 2021-22 and above both Woodfield Elementary and Trailside Elementary.

Some comparisons are striking. Big Bend Elementary in the Mukwonago School District ranks 97th percentile with 5 stars on $13,508 per student — the lowest spending in the area — with nearly identical poverty and class sizes. Kansasville Elementary in the Dover #1 School District serves the highest low-income share in the group yet ranks 94th percentile, 5 stars. Cooper Montessori, in the weaker Burlington Area School District, outranks Evergreen despite the largest classes. Because Evergreen is mid-sized, its ranking has held steadier than smaller neighbors such as North Cape Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, which means its decade-long drift deserves more attention than the single 2024-25 dip.
