Summary

Hewitt-Texas Elementary is a public elementary school in Wausau, Wisconsin, serving 87 students in grades K-5 and part of the Wausau School District. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, with several grades ranking in the top 100 Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, including a 90th-place ranking out of 1,067 schools in 2022-2023.

Hewitt-Texas Elementary stands out for its socioeconomic diversity, with a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools. The school's performance on the Forward Exam for low socioeconomic status students is particularly impressive, ranking 3rd out of 871 Wisconsin elementary schools in this subgroup in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.2 to 14.1 in recent years, lower than many of its peers.

While Hewitt-Texas Elementary generally outperforms nearby schools in the Wausau School District, as well as some schools in the D.C. Everest Area School District, such as Riverside Elementary, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, and it has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.9% to 17.7% in recent years. These factors suggest that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement.
