Summary

Rose Glen Elementary is a 490-student school serving grades PK–5 on Brookhill Drive in Waukesha, Wisconsin, part of the Waukesha School District in a suburban area west of Milwaukee. It is the highest-ranked school in its local comparison group, placing 101st of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 — its best statewide standing since 2017–2018, following a mid-decade slide to the 82nd percentile in 2022–2023.

Math is Rose Glen's signature strength. Averaged across grades 3–5, about 83% of students scored proficient in math, compared with roughly 64% in the district and 53% statewide — an edge of about 30 points over the state. Reading is also above district and state in every grade, but by narrower margins, so the school's academic profile leans distinctly toward math. The closest apples-to-apples comparison is Magee Elementary in the Kettle Moraine School District, about four miles away: Magee spends roughly $4,700 more per student and edges Rose Glen in some reading grades, but Rose Glen wins math at every grade and holds the higher overall rating.

Two other points stand out for families. Attendance is exceptional: chronic absenteeism has held in the 5–6% band for three years, most recently 5.1% — about a third of the district rate and well below the state's 17.3% — while nearby Hawthorne Elementary (18.7%) and Bethesda Elementary (17.3%) show the opposite pattern. Rose Glen also achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,563) than every traditional nearby school and carrying the largest classes in its district peer group — a 16.2 student–teacher ratio versus 9.6 at Hawthorne — though it serves a relatively low-need population, which typically lowers costs and lifts proficiency on its own. Worth watching: 5th-grade reading fell to 63.10% in 2025–26 from 78.02% the year before, and low-income students' relative performance has drifted from the 79th to the 66th percentile over three years.
