Summary

White Rock School is a PK–8 elementary school serving about 286 students at 1150 Whiterock Ave in Waukesha, Wisconsin, part of the Waukesha School District, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 275th of 1,039 ranked Wisconsin elementary schools (74th percentile, 4 stars) — the fourth-strongest of the ten Waukesha-district elementary and middle schools in this comparison set, and consistently above average for six years.

Its standout strength is English language arts. In grades 3 through 8, every grade level beats both the district and the state, averaging roughly 83% proficient versus about 59% district and 54% state; 7th and 8th grade ELA reach 89–91%, the best upper-grade ELA results of any nearby school. Science and social studies are also well above district and state, with 8th grade social studies at 91.30%. Attendance is exceptional: chronic absenteeism of 0.8% in 2024–25 is the lowest in the comparison group by a wide margin, down from 15.6% five years earlier, and the school has reported a 0.0% dropout rate for five straight years. For context, nearby Hillcrest Elementary (93rd percentile), Waukesha STEM Academy (89th) and Summit View Elementary (81st) rank higher overall, while La Casa de Esperanza Charter School, about 0.3 miles away, ranks in the 10th percentile.

Math is the clear relative weakness. Averaging across grades 3–8, math proficiency is roughly 55% — about 28 points below the school's own ELA average and about 8 points below the district math average — with 5th grade math (37.04%) and 3rd grade math (51.61%) the weakest spots, though grades 7 and 8 do beat district and state. The lowest-income student subgroup is the one group ranking well below the school's overall standing (7th percentile in 2023–24), and its small size means that estimate is uncertain. Because each grade has only about 25–35 students, year-to-year swings can be noisy; parents should look at multi-year trends rather than a single year.
